The project is proudly funded by Arts Council England www.artscouncil.org.uk and The Baring Foundation www.baringfoundation.org.uk. If you are an artist or a associated with a care home that would like to get in involved within the scheme, then please do contact us today by emailing Sarah Hunt on sarah@artsforhealthcornwall.org.uk.
