Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This project will deliver opportunities for people to take part in new activities including a provision where those who are particularly hard to reach can do woodwork, DIY and other 'Skills you Never Learnt'; other social prescribed activities for all such as gardening, cooking and creative arts; along with skills development both in the activities and self-management of conditions. The funding will pay for hire of premises, cost of materials, sessional workers, coordination and publicity. The most significant difference will be enhanced skills, the improvement in mood, increased social integration, and improved self-efficacy, which means that people believe in themselves and have the wherewithal not to return to needing hospitalisation or high-level support needs due to significant mental health problems.
