Arts & Health Commission: Creative Transitions

In partnership with Public Health Torbay and Imagine This… we are looking to commission three Creative Transition projects for groups of young people who are facing transition to adulthood in different ways. 

The three projects are:

• Creative Transitions: Young Carers

• Creative Transitions: Young Parents

• Creative Transitions: Young people who have experienced homelessness and social isolation. This third project will be based at The Foyer, Torquay.

We are looking for organisations or individuals who have a track record of participatory and co-designed arts practice to facilitate creative projects focused on building resilience, life skills, enhanced social skills and articulacy, to support a young person’s transition into adulthood.

Projects should be responsive to the needs and desires of the young people and make use of play, creativity and the natural environment.

This project is part of the Changing Lives strand of Torbay’s Great Place Scheme; supporting projects that help residents lead healthier, happier lives by building partnerships with different sectors to embed creativity into the lives of those who can benefit the most.

We are therefore looking for practitioners and organisations with experience in applying their arts practice in a health and wellbeing context.
