The Manchester Art Gallery and the Manchester
Population Health team have worked collaboratively to co-create and
test a wellbeing project - the Art of Resilience - piloted with
Manchester primary school children in 2021/22. The project, focused
on trauma informed practice is part of Manchester's ambition to be
an ACE aware and trauma informed City.
Following a successful implementation year with several primary
schools the objective is to extend the offer to other primary
schools in Manchester schools and the partners have approached the
VRU to support the extension both financially and in the allocation
of the project resources based on VRU dashboard data and GM contact
network
The learning and good practice has been shared with the GM ACEs and
trauma group by means of evaluation and feedback from participating
schools.The consensus is the project is valued and delivers against
the VRU and Trauma group objectives.
The Greater Manchester Violence Reduction Unit
is to fund Manchester Art Gallery to support the continued delivery
of the Art of Resilience project in partnership with the Greater
Manchester Population Health team during the 2022/23 Academic Year
(September 2022 until July 2023) The programme will be funded out
of the VRU Serious Violence fund (Education delivery group budget
line) worth £14,000.
The GM VRU have previously funded Manchester Art Gallery
£14,000 to support the Art of Resilience programme out of the
2021/22 Serious Violence funding via an exemption form due to the
unique services provided by the Gallery. This totals the funding
amount to £28,000
