Become an Artlift supporter today

Many people are struggling with the long-term effects of isolation on their mental health at this time. It’s particularly tough for anyone with a long-term health condition. Throughout the pandemic, more and more people have realised that creative activities with others can change their lives.

We want to extend our service to more people across the county who are living with mental health issues, chronic pain and cancer. With the University of Gloucestershire, we have the largest body of evidence in Europe that arts on prescription improves wellbeing.

You can make a difference by becoming a supporter of Artlift with a regular donation or one-off gift to provide art to help people feel better.
