Well-being Stories

Project title

Well-being Stories

Description of initiative

Kirklees Museums and Galleries commissioned a short film Well-being Stories (3mins and 30secs) which highlights the unique role that Kirklees Museums and Galleries can play in supporting local people to manage their own health and well-being. Examples showcased in the film include Mindfulness sessions using the collections as inspiration and the Museum in a Box programme which provides multi-sensory resources to trigger memories and encourage conversations. This important advocacy tool also demonstrates to decision makers and stakeholders how a high quality volunteer programme can improve confidence and provide opportunities for people to connect.
