Grant Application for Museums Association Health & Wellbeing Funding

Decision Maker: Assistant Director - Resources (Community Development), Corporate Director of Community Development

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

To submit an application for £74,410 to the Museums Association, for Creative Health development work, Culture & Archives Service.

Reasons for the decision:

The?project contributes to Cultural Strategy and wider NYC objectives in relation to healthy communities and supports cross-service work to achieve positive impacts in and with communities by embedding creative health approaches.

Alternative options considered:

Considered not applying to the fund, but this would be contradictory to the aims of the Creative Health Hubs development, to seek opportunities to realise the vision of supporting communities and addressing public health priorities in rural areas. It is also unlikely funding with no match requirement will be available at any point in the near future.
