We won an award!

We won an award!! Last week we were at the Scottish Parliament for the @alliance.scot Self Management Awards. We were shortlisted for the Self Management through the Arts Award and we were absolutely thrilled and delighted to win!

We were awarded for our projects including ‘Caring Spaces’ for unpaid carers, ‘Taking Art Home’; online workshops for those with long-term health conditions, and ‘Room for Art’, a social prescription project across Edinburgh for people experiencing mental health challenges.

A huge thanks and congratulations to all our wonderful staff, artists, volunteers, trustees and partners for making this work happen.

Self Management is a way of living and working that means people feel more in control of their own health and wellbeing. Last week was Self Management Week and the theme was journeys and so the biggest thank you most of all to our workshop participants – it’s a privilege to be a part of your self management journey.
