Pathways to Wellbeing

Changing Lives Through Art

Pathways to Wellbeing is an established museum-based creative health programme. We support people with lived experience of mental health issues and social isolation, offering welcoming, supported groups where participants can explore creativity and strengthen their wellbeing together without judgement.

People can self-refer by completing an online application form

be referred or signposted to our groups by support workers.

The programme offers long-term support and engagement opportunities and recognises that life-transforming change happens over time as trust and confidence are built.

Partner museums and organisations: American Museum & Gardens, Bath Abbey, Bath Preservation Trust and Bath City Farm

About the Project

Pathways to Wellbeing is an innovative Arts & Health project bringing museums, art galleries and mental health and support organisations together to work in partnership across the Bath area. We run 5 different groups which meet at the Holburne and partner museums. These are designed to provide safe, mental-health aware spaces for people to explore their creativity, learn, connect with others and be inspired by art and heritage. The programme offers long-term support and engagement opportunities and recognises that life-transforming change happens over time as trust and confidence are built.
