Odd Arts
- Odd Arts uses varied art-forms to empower young people in Manchester to make change and increase their sense of belonging and purpose.
- Projects are underpinned by theatre but often use other media to challenge and change attitudes and behaviours.
- It has developed a 12-week ‘Wellbeing your way’ programme using the creative arts to enable young people facing mental health issues to understand the world and themselves differently.
- Alongside one to one and group sessions, the programme had been developed to offer participants access to a wide variety of cultural, volunteering and work experience opportunities.
- Chimo has funded the appointment of new member of staff to develop and expand the Wellbeing your way programme.
