Week Four – Neighbourhood Knowhow – NHS Step 4: Giving to others
Our inspiration for this project has come from the NHS Five Steps to Wellbeing and week four’s theme is Giving to others. 18-24 May is Mental Health Awareness Week and so we are exploring how giving to others can help with mental health.
An act of kindness can raise our self-esteem, help us to feel connected and give us that all round good feeling. The fantastic thing about this step is that you are not just looking after your own wellbeing, but you’ll be taking care of someone else’s at the same time. No matter how large or small the gesture, it always feels great to know that someone is thinking of you.
Whether it’s giving a gift to a family member, volunteering your time in your neighbourhood, or sharing a problem with a friend in your network, there are no end of creative ways to give to others and we want to hear all about your ideas.
To give you some inspiration the LPAC team have shared some examples on YouTube of how they are using culture and creativity to nurture their wellbeing, but this is just to get the ball rolling.
What we are really interested in is the approach of our community members. We want to hear your stories, hear see creative adventures and learn from your advice. For more information contact our producer Dawn Richmond-Gordon.

July marks the culmination of a Youth Music funded programme that has seen hundreds of young people, across eight participating schools in Lincolnshire develop their musical craft and talents before taking over their local arts venue with their very own music event.
Two years on from Perma-Crisis being named word of the year, living on planet earth feels fraught. There is rapid technological, ecological and environmental change, within the context of an information age assault on the senses.
Come along and watch the fantastic Danielle Rawlinson School Of Dance And Theatre’s pupils shine in their 2024 dance show. Spectacular performances full of energy with a variety of different music and dance styles.
This workshop is for anyone struggling with living in the now, embracing failure, or just letting go. While improvisation is commonly considered a performance art, the games and techniques it employs can also be used to tackle stress, develop connections, and bolster self-esteem.
