The Trust is pleased to be able to partner with Arts for Health Community Trust, a small community based organisation providing an avenue for people experiencing unwellness or wanting to maintain their wellness using the creative arts. The Braemar Charitable Trust is supporting Arts for Health with a pilot project that involves providing a group arts based service and activities for patients at Waikato Hospital, a service Arts for Health were forced to discontinue in 2016, due to financial limitations. The focus of the service is to provide disadvantaged and vulnerable patients with an arts based service that will:
- Help with recovery through creativity
- Provide a positive experience and increase social engagement
- Build well-being and sense of purpose and achievement
- Offer opportunities for social inclusion
- Build a sense of community
