Please consider helping with our research on the arts and well-being...

 

Ignite Imaginations has teamed up with psychologists at the University of Sheffield to carry out some exciting and important research on the arts and well-being. Our project has been funded by an Arts Council England scheme and we are the only team representing the north of the country. 

 

Many of us recognise the value of the arts for well-being and we want to provide scientific evidence for the positive impact that the arts can have on our lives. We really need willing volunteers to help us achieve this by taking part in our research studies - it would be fantastic if you'd be willing to help! 

 

We are running studies over the next few months and are particularly interested in recruiting people from Darnall, Firth Park and Manor but are inclusive to anybody interested.

​

Study 2 is for people aged 50+ and involves listening to an audiobook and answering some questionnaires.

 

The study requires meeting with our research team at a time/place convenient to volunteers. People who take part in either study will be given a £10 Love2Shop voucher as a thank you and will be contributing to important scientific research.
