Launch of Prescribe-arts platform

Aesop Arts and Society created and manage this platform.

Live Music Now, Sing to Beat and The Reader all helped shape its development.

Financial support was given The National Lottery Community Fund. The aim of the platform is to enable social prescribers and members of the public to find high quality arts programmes that make a difference to people’s health and wellbeing. It is also a place where arts practitioners can get the support they need to develop their programmes.

Aesop’s vision is of a future when arts solutions for society’s problems are valued and available for all who need them.

Our aims are to: develop arts solutions based on social needs; show health, care and other sectors how the arts can work for them; accelerate the pace of adoption of arts solutions; develop research and practice networks for arts solutions.

Our current focus is society’s health and social care problems but we are also exploring how we help within the criminal justice and education sectors.

Aesop also supports the arts in health sector by providing consultancy services, Continuing Professional Development (CPD), and an arts in health conference.
