I think looking at evidencing is becoming increasingly important, having attended a recent Arts in Health symposium this quickly became a key focus in discussion. Sharing useful evaluation tools and methods for evidencing – finding ways to ensure this evidencing is clearly acknowledged and recognised is key – this will enable us to lobby for more work in the sector, and make the work we do carry more weight, power and impact.

Comment on An Insider Guide to Working with Volunteers – session notes by Penny Dixon

Thanks for a really interesting afternoon. It tied together both my work as a volunteer and having to manage volunteers as part of my paid work as an artist.

It also highlighted both positive and grey areas for artists – that it can lead to paid work in the future – a foot in the door but will skilled artists be undervalued in the future?!

Hi,

I am a photographer and last year i did a photo-project about Divine Nightclub which is a nightclub event happening every month in Coventry for people with learning disabilities. I would like to showcase my project because I am interested in working with documentary photography and health issues in the future.

The project: http://www.lightstalkers.org/galleries/slideshow/26617

Comment on Take part in the Office for National Statistics’ Measuring Wellbeing consultation by Jane Wernick

I believe that the quality of our built environment is very important. Good design affects how well our schools, hospitals, homes, outside spaces, places of work etc. affect our psyche and our ability to lead fulfilled and happy lives. Please include some questions on this in your surveys.

I am happy to help dance practitioners to set up square dance classes (to Mainstream level) and round dance classes. I may also be able to help with funding.
