Research shows that active participation in the arts supports mental health and resilience. 🌟 Funded by the Eleanor Rathbone Charitable Trust, the Smiles Fund via Comic Relief and Walkers, the Johnston Nijman Foundation and White Stuff

The evidence really is compelling. If active engagement in the arts reduces depression, lowers stress and strengthens social connection, it leaves the question: why are we still treating it as a luxury rather than an essential part of life?
