Arts for Good Health Summer Programme now live

The Recovery Pathways service, part of GMMH, is excited to announce the launch of its Arts for Good Health Summer programme.
Arts for Good Health are a variety of free short wellbeing courses run across Manchester and designed for access to further parts of the community. They can be used as an introduction to our core service or as part of a move-on plan.
The Summer programme will run from July to September 2025. There are nine courses on offer, including Woodwork Make and Take, Botanical Colour, Drawing and Painting Still Life and Wellbeing Photography.
Courses run for around four to eight weeks at differing venues across the city, with group sizes ranging from 6 to 12 participants depending on the venue.
We encourage referrals from services and self-referrals from people who meet the following criteria:
- People over the age of 18
- Manchester residents
Please be aware, due to the demand for our courses, places are limited to one per person and prioritised for new referrals.
If you need help completing a referral form, please contact us on 0161 271 0279 or email Referrals.RecoveryPathways@gmmh.nhs.uk.
