During 2025 Bradford District Museums and Galleries worked in partnership with Bradford Care Association (BCA) on a project funded by the Bradford 2025 Creative Health Programme.
This project took place between February 2025 and January 2026 and focused on creating opportunities for people of all ages who draw upon care and support to access our collections, activities, events and green spaces at each of our sites.
During this time groups visited our museums and took part in wellbeing walks, Tai Chi exercises, drawing and listening activities, gallery talks and tours, making and crafting. These activities were aimed at supporting groups, activity co-ordinators and social prescribers to access our museums with the support they need.
As a result of this work the BCA and Bradford Museums have created wellbeing resources for each location including details of activities, online and in person walks and events that you can take part in to improve mental and physical wellbeing. Anyone can use the pack from activity co-ordinators at care homes to individuals who are interested in improving their health.
