Mission
Cartwheel Arts promotes social inclusion, cohesion, diversity and regeneration
through community participation in vibrant, innovative, high-quality arts projects.
We use a wide range of media to initiate, and respond to, project opportunities in
Rochdale and surrounding areas, as well as promoting the development of the arts
and examples of good practice across the North West.
Working in collaboration with User Groups we will help to develop arts based
projects that enable people to explore their creativity and talents: that instills
ownership and pride: that are fun; and that leave a positive, lasting legacy.
Throughout its work Cartwheel will endeavour to offer equality of opportunity, and
to treat all who work with us honestly and with respect to create arts for a reason.

happening now. Using the power of the arts towards emotional engagement.
Worked with arts council to develop a touring exhibition. The overall outcome
weren't defined at the start. They worked with a poet to help explore what
dementia is and how it impacts on the people. The narratives came from the
perspectives of the individuals in terms of who they were and how they had been
changed by dementia.

Starts with strategic manager- get to know these people and get them to know the
service you provide.
Care managers beneath this, very difficult to get hold of, case load is really high.
You can refer users for assessments to care managers.

The care act 2015
What does the act aim to achieve?
Clearer, fairer care and support
Wellbeing- physical, mental and emotional- of both the person needing care
and their carer
Prevention of delay of the need for care and support
People in control of their care. A new emphasis on wellbeing, The new statutory
principle of individual welling underpins the Act, and is the driving force behind
care and support.
And in the arts: the creative case for diversity
Arts council led initiative
Diversity and equality are crucial to the arts because they sustain, refresh,
replenish and release the true potential of Englands artistic talent, regardless, of
peoples background.
The Creative Case builds on what we believe to be an instinctive understanding
within the arts community that diversity and creativity are inherently linked. We
wish to articulate an approach that encompasses the ways in which diversity has
been and remains an intrinsic and dynamic part of the creative process.
From both an arts and social care point of view there is a commitment to valuing
people. Now the two must work together to make lives better.
