Stepping In Phase One: 2024
Our Stepping In pilot project launched in 2024, providing training, mentoring and experiential learning programme supporting underrepresented practitioners to ‘step in’ to the arts, health and wellbeing field. It was specifically aimed at practitioners with lived experience of mental health; Welsh language practitioners and those from global majority; LGBTQ; D/deaf/disabled backgrounds, responding to the lack of diversity within the arts and health creative workforce.

The pilot programme supported four practitioners to take part in a full week’s intensive training residential, shadow an experienced artist on a live project in a health or community setting; receive mentoring sessions, a bursary and full wrap-around support including supervision and peer support.
The first phase of the programme was funded by the Arts Council of Wales' Arts Health & Wellbeing Lottery Fund and delivered in partnership with Swansea Bay University Health Board, Hywel Dda University Health Board, PeopleSpeakUp, Caerphilly County Borough Council Arts Development, Cardiff Metropolitan University and Cardiff School of Art.
