Introducing Members Monthly!

Each month, we will highlight a service on ALISS that is part of the ALLIANCE’s Member Network.

This month we are featuring Art in Healthcare, an organisation dedicated to providing engaging and impactful creative opportunities to support and improve the mental and physical health and wellbeing of people in Scotland. One of their initiatives is Taking Art Home – a series of free, online, weekly art sessions for people with long term health conditions, promoting relaxation and creativity.

Unfortunately, Art in Healthcare is not taking any referrals at the moment but try a search from the ALISS homepage to see what other services are available!
