Our Arts, Health and Wellbeing Lottery funding programme has re-opened to applications.

Supporting high-quality creative projects that deliver health and wellbeing benefits for the people of Wales, the Arts Health & Wellbeing Fund is open to partnership bids from across the arts, health, social care and third sectors. We’re particularly interested in supporting creative projects that address the following health challenges and priorities:

  • Mental Health (including tackling loneliness/social isolation and social prescribing schemes that aim to build resilience and address mental ill health);
  • Health Inequalities – projects that are designed to bring health and wellbeing benefits through the arts to people from more diverse backgrounds;
  • Physical Health and wellbeing – arts projects that support improved physical health or keep people physically active through the arts during/following the pandemic
  • Staff wellbeing - within the healthcare and/or arts workforce

Please see the full funding guidelines for more information.

The deadline for this round is 5pm on 7 June 2023.
