Pathways to Wellbeing @ Holburne Museum, Bath

Pathways to Wellbeing is a museum-based community engagement programme with art at its heart. Lead by the Holburne Museum (Bath) it supports people with lived experience of mental health issues, social isolation and homelessness to engage with their local heritage and creative art activities, delivering measurable improvements in mental health and wellbeing.

Pathways to Wellbeing is an innovative project bringing museums, art galleries and mental health and support organisations together to work in partnership across the city of Bath. Four different groups meet at museum sites, offering people the chance to try art for the first time and explore their creativity in supported, safe and inspiring spaces. The programme offers long-term support and engagement opportunities and recognises that life-transforming change happens over time as trust and confidence are built.
