The aim of the Group shall be to enhance the health and well being of people by employing a community led approach to the delivery of arts based projects. Which will also seek to both reduce social isolation and to strengthen community cohesion by providing a frame work that under the best circumstances offers room for everyone, is accepting and supportive of individuals, forgiving and kind, instructive and directive.
