Wellbeing
This programme area focuses on increasing levels of wellbeing through opportunities for creative expression, which encourage social inclusion. This will be achieved through a variety of approaches. It overlaps significantly with the Income Generation programme that can assist to create wellbeing through the sense of achievement that comes from earning income, and from individual artists becoming able to support themselves financially.
An important way to increase the wellbeing of marginalised individuals is to promote understanding and education amongst the general public, which in turn will change attitudes and therefore behaviour towards marginalised individuals. In this way they, will be enabled to move 'out of the margin'. Levels of wellbeing will be measured in a number of ways, both quantitative and qualitative.
