Museums on Prescription

Researchers from 香港六合彩中特网 and Canterbury Christ Church University, with seven partner museums situated in central London and across Kent, investigated the value of museum encounters in social prescribing in the three-year AHRC-funded project comprising two phases. Phase 1 reviewed existing social prescribing schemes and Phase 2 set up the novel museums-based social prescribing scheme. Museums on Prescription connected 115 socially isolated and lonely older people referred through local authority social care and psychological services, and third sector organizations, to 10-week museum-based programmes of creative and co-productive activities.
