Active Arts was originally set up by East Lothian Council’s Art Service with funding from Health Scotland’s Small Projects Awards.

Following the success of  the pilot programme, East Lothian Council is now funding the roll out of the programme to other areas of the county.

The programme is specifically for the improvement of mental health and well being in later life. Active Arts was set up to tackle social isolation and offer activities to anyone over the age of 50.
