SANE Awards Scheme Survey

We are seeking your views on a proposed SANE Awards Scheme. The aim of the scheme is to improve the quality of life for people with mental health conditions and their carers, by enabling them to fulfil their creative potential. The scheme would make small grants to individuals to enable them to engage in creative pursuits such as a creative writing course, learning a musical instrument or creating a specific piece of art. If you have a mental health condition, or you are a carer for someone who does, we would really appreciate and welcome your responses on the intended scope of the scheme. Please note, the survey is confidential and the results will only be used by SANE solely for the purpose of devising this project.
