The Arts for Health and Wellbeing Team at Cardiff & Vale Health Charity are thrilled to receive funding for an exciting new project, A Space To Grow – Lle i Dyfu, which connects growing and creating. We are incredibly grateful to the Arts for Health and Wellbeing Lottery funding stream, Arts Council of Wales.
Our year-long social prescribing project, A Space To Grow will focus on the creative opportunities that growing and sharing of food across cultures and communities can inspire, promoting connections through food, sustainability and environmental awareness in our communities, addressing food inequalities and supporting healthy communities.
