ANNUAL REPORT 2012

2012 ANNUAL REPORT OF

JERSEY ARTS IN HEALTH CARE

Chairman’s Introduction

2012 was an exceptional year for Arts in Health Care. In May, as part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee

celebrations, we received the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service in recognition of our work enriching

the lives of people in health care settings through the provision of art and live performance. This is the

highest award given to volunteer groups across the UK for outstanding work done in their local

communities. Members of the Arts in Health Care were invited to attend a garden party at Buckingham

Palace and the award was presented a few weeks later at Government House. Some of our

representatives, accompanied by music from the Charleston Charlies, were also presented to Prince

Charles during his visit to Jersey in the autumn. We hope that the extra interest generated by these

events will help us to develop and extend our work in the future.

In June 2012 we launched our new website, funded by a grant from Jersey Arts Trust. The site provides

an overview of all areas of our work as well as a diary of events and performers' biographies. There is

information about local performers and regular posts from Twitter and Facebook relating to the role of the

arts within health care. The website address is given below and I hope you will use it to keep in touch.

While unexpected donations are most welcome, there are a few key organisations who provide grants to

us year after year and without whom we would be unable to survive. Our thanks go to the Association of

Jersey Charities, the Parish of St Helier, Health and Social Services, the Jersey Arts Trust and the Parish

of St Lawrence who continue to support our work. You will see from our accounts at the end of this

report that the funding we receive goes into the provision of the arts in local care settings and very little

is used to administer the Trust.

At the end of 2012, Advocate Graham Boxall agreed to undertake the role of Honorary Chairman and I

am sure that Arts in Health Care will continue to grow and flourish during his chairmanship. Over the past

six years our work has developed with the introduction of a new website; the commissioning of an artist

in residence; an exhibition of paintings depicting childhood leukaemia; a theatre performance about

menopause and the introduction of Monday Matinee films shown at Jersey Arts Centre.

In my final report I would like to acknowledge the support of my fellow Board members, members of the

Liaison Group and all those who have contributed to the work of the Trust throughout 2012. My particular

thanks go to the Jersey Arts Centre whose administrative support is vital to our continued success and to

our Honorary Treasurer, Mr Clive Barton, who continues to administer the Trust’s funding. I would also

like to thank Joan Streets and Fay Baudin for their tireless support of social activities providers through

the Social Activities Forum.

1. Background

Arts in Health Care was established to offer the benefits of the Arts, in their widest sense, to those in a variety

of health care settings both in the community and within the health service. It takes a holistic view of the

healing process while concentrating its efforts, at any one time, in a number of key areas:

Provision of performances, under the aegis of

Music in Hospitals, to residential homes (private

and public), day care centres and hospital wards.

Displays of the visual arts in local hospitals.

Encouragement of local performers within the

health care system.

Dissemination of information on the wider benefits

of the Arts through residencies, workshops,

training sessions and talks.

Advocacy of the value of the Arts therapies,

including the provision of public workshops and

pilot projects.

Support for organisations and initiatives with

common values or objectives.

2. Board Members

The Patron of the Arts In Health Care Trust is Lady Linda Bailhache.

At the end of 2012 membership of the Board comprised: Adv. Graham Boxall, (Honorary Chairman);

Mrs Val Aitken (Honorary Vice-Chairman); Mr Clive Barton, (Honorary Treasurer); Mrs Fiona Speller and

Miss Sara Clarkson, representing the Ministry for Education, Sport and Culture; Mrs Gill Rattle representing

the Ministry for Health and Social Services; and Mr Daniel Austin, representing the Jersey Arts Centre’s

3. Funding

In 2012 Arts in Health Care received funding from six principal sources:

The Association of Jersey Charities

The Parish of St Helier

States of Jersey Ministry for Health and Social Services

Jersey Arts Trust

Parish of St Saviour

Bedell Trust

Other more modest grants, which are gratefully received, emerge from a variety of sources. In addition,

private establishments, benefiting from performances negotiated in collaboration with Music in Hospitals,

make a contribution towards the cost of those events. The Trust provides a 50% subsidy, as well as meeting

the overheads of the tours, such as travel and accommodation. It is worth noting that Music in Hospitals,

from its own financial resources, contributes half the overall cost of each performance, leaving the

outstanding balance to be apportioned locally.

4. Activities in 2012

There were a total of six tours programmed for 2012. Most tours lasted 10 to 11 days and on each day

performers were scheduled to present 2/3 concerts. This meant that a total of 168 concerts were given in

2012.

Reaction to the tours is monitored by Arts in Health Care using response forms produced by Music in

Hospitals. The following is a sample of comments made by staff after the 2012 concerts:

Janet Beale (accordion)

“ Live concerts always give people a lift of spirits. They can’t go out to concerts so it’s great

we can bring it to them.”

“The atmosphere was very exciting, very good.”

Margaret Ferguson and Margaret Lions (soprano and piano)

“All residents who attended enjoyed themselves. They interacted well, one gentleman shed a few tears.”

“A good way to spend a bank holiday afternoon. Would like them back.”

Charleston Charlies (1920s Dance Band)

“Pure enjoyment all round. The atmosphere was great.”

“Yes, very enjoyable! And one lady was dancing with the musician.”

Hedley Kay (vocals and guitar)

“Good enjoyment and great response/ everyone LOVES Hedley!”

“Great reaction from all the residents. One lady said Hedley is her favourite performer, one lady beside her

sang with emotion and joy raising her arms and clapping. A Gentleman’s tears flowed listening to a song that

was sung to him. A really fantastic response and a great atmosphere.”

On the Wagon (multi-instrumental folk trio)

“Nice to see a sparkle in peoples’ eyes.”

“ All our residents were in high spirits and some shed a tear remembering their Mother, Father or childhood.”

Huw Chidgey & Catherine Handley (Folk duo)

“Some clients were quite emotional at some songs. Often they were joining in with the words, even though

they had dementia.”

“ All members enjoyed Huw & Catherine’s

performance. Clapping, singing and foot

tapping along.”

4.2 Art in Health Care Settings

Exhibitions in Hospitals

It has been an ongoing objective of the Trust to encourage both the policy of ‘percent for art’ in building

projects within the Health Care sector, as well as the installation of art works in existing buildings. We have

regular exhibitions in the link corridor at the General Hospital and at Overdale and the work of local

photographers installed at Rosewood House.

The General Hospital exhibition featured works by Graham Tovey and Suzanne Blackstone, while at Overdale

a series of photographs by Gregory Guida which were displayed throughout the two floors of the main

entrance have now been donated as a permanent exhibition.

The installation of photographs at Rosewood House includes work by Pat Robson, Annette Tomkinson,

Valentine Aitken, Tom Killick, Sheila Birch, Fay Baudin, Stuart Abraham, Marilyn Mackay and Micheal Cook.

Our Hon. Vice Chairman, Val Aitken, curates this and other exhibitions.

4.3 Report by the Social Activities Forum

The Social Activities Forum continues to play an integral part in the training and development of those involved

in delivering a programme of varied events for the enrichment of clients’ well-being through Social Activities in

various care settings on the Island.

The Forum received much support in its aims and in recognition of achieving these aims. The committee

ensures that the training sessions it delivers are varied and interesting, enabling them to encourage all those

involved in this sphere of work, from new appointees to those who have been involved for a number of years.

This successful format is achieved by continuing to share ideas, resources and experiences, not only at the

workshops but also by visiting each others’ establishments to add new interest for clients and activity organis-

ers who can work together to provide a more positive experience.

During 2012 the Social Activities Forum continued to concentrate on the importance of Continued Community

Links to encourage Activity Organisers to widen their links with other agencies and ensure that they are able to

offer a varied and structured programme which is adaptable to the wider and greater needs of their clients.

This has continued to be achieved through the Forum’s partnership with Arts in Health Care, Jersey Library,

Jersey Heritage, Health Promotion Department, and Private and Public nursing and residential homes in

Jersey, and it has gained even wider recognition of the valuable work that it is doing.

Following the successful format of last year the Social Activities Forum was once again able to organise and

deliver two successful workshops. The forum’s bi-annual events provide an excellent array of speakers all

willing to speak on their specialist topic and offer their support to those working in various care settings, so

providing them with tools and ideas for stimulating the range of activities they are confident to organise for

the specific needs of their clients.

The Social Activities Forum would like to express, once again, its sincere thanks to all who have supported its

aims and objectives to improve the quality of Social Activities: Gill Rattle, Barbara Renouf and Fay Baudin,

Health and Social Services; Sue Thornburn, Lakeside Care Home; Stuart Nicolle and Jason Castledine, Jersey

Heritage; and Judith Baker, Jersey Library. The Forum looks forward positively to 2013. Despite the increased

needs of clients in all care settings, there is still confidence and enthusiasm, and the Forum is thrilled to be

receiving tremendous support from all areas. It is fantastic to have so many professionals and venues so read-

ily available to support the Forum’s work, and through its results and professionalism it is ensuring that the

activities it provides are more specific to those increased needs of the clients and their well being.

Social Activities Workshops

The Forum continued its theme of successful partnerships in the field of activities, and following on from the

October workshop on Community Partnerships it continued to provide two excellent workshops in 2012,

always aiming to ensure that it keeps these relevant to the client groups’ needs. The first one in March had the

theme ‘Education Partnerships’ and concentrated on the value of outreach, and links that the Forum hopes to

forge with activities and Adult Education classes that are on offer but have not been accessible or available to

our clients for various reasons.

The second one in September was organised as the final part of the series of three workshops with the theme

‘Consolidating Partnerships’. The aim was to encourage activity organisers working in conjunction with other

agencies to ensure the programme of activities they offer is as structured and inclusive as possible when

getting involved in the community, and strives to do the best it possibly can not only for its present client

group, but also potential future clients.

March 21st Workshop – ‘Community Partnerships through Education’

The Social Activities Forum was thrilled that Terry Arthur, Lead Tutor for Adult Education, and Laura Goldstein,

Adult Education Programme Manager allowed it to use the excellent venue of the Adult Education Centre at

the Philip Mourant Centre, Trinity. This was an ideal setting as the venue already has an excellent outreach

and community partnership with its full programme of classes available to all, including those with specific

needs, to enable them to learn a new skill and form new friendships at the same time.

There were over 35 delegates who, after a Power Point presentation on the statistics surrounding Adult

Education, participated in some ‘Taster’ sessions on Seated Yoga, Pottery and Art and Crafts and were

amazed at the number of classes available.

The Forum also welcomed speakers including Angela Francey from ‘Shop Mobility’; Barbara Renouf, Senior

Occupational Therapist; Tracey O’Regan, Community Link Manager from the Stroke Association; and

Reverends Maureen Turner and Judith Bond, and would like to express its thanks to all the guest speakers for

their excellent contributions.

The workshop concluded with updates from Fay Baudin, Judith Baker, Jersey Library and Jersey Heritage,

with practical information and ideas for delegates to take back to their care settings, and again the Forum

appreciates this continued support.

September 26th Workshop –

Consolidating Partnerships

The Social Activities Forum was thrilled

that Lakeside Management allowed it to

use the excellent venue of their fabulous

new care setting at Lakeside Manor,

offering a great opportunity for delegates

to see the most up-to-date care setting

specialising in Dementia Care on the

Island. Special thanks to Social Organiser

Sue Thornburn who was great in

arranging the venue and refreshments.

The Forum welcomed many new

delegates, and also many regular attendees. This is a good way to use the workshop as an opportunity to

network and share ideas, and is especially interesting for those in new positions to learn from those with a

wealth of experience.

The Forum welcomed Graeme Humphries and Keeley Smyth from Arts in Health Care who gave an

excellent presentation about the partnership with the Forum and introduced to delegates their new website.

They were also thrilled to announce that they were the proud recipients of The Queen’s Award for Voluntary

Service.

Again the Forum would like to express its thanks to all who made these workshops so successful, especially

our guest speakers Jo Cummins, from Jersey Alzheimer’s Association; Stuart Nicolle from Jersey Heritage;

Judith Baker and Fay Baudin. The delegates also enjoyed listening to entertainers Terry Arthur and Lesina

Thornley, and having a guided tour of the excellent venue.

Jersey Library Service

Jersey Library continues to support the work of Social Activities Organisers in residential homes and care

settings, and is constantly updating its stock to offer a range of items for both clients and staff to reflect their

changing needs. Representatives attended two workshops this year, and networking opportunities were very

useful, helping to strengthen links. The library also delivers books to individual housebound borrowers, and

deposit collections to residential homes and care settings, and in 2012 library staff made 278 visits to deliver

8540 items. In 2013, with the challenges of an ageing population in mind, a review of library services for

housebound users is being undertaken as a key objective of the Education Sport & Culture Business Plan for

2013. As many residential homes, care settings and individual housebound borrowers as possible will be

visited and findings are due to be reported in December 2013.

Reports prepared by members of the Social Activities Forum, and co-ordinated by Chairman, Joan Streets.

5. Arts Therapy

Arts in Health Care's interest in arts therapy goes back many years and has included support for a pilot project

and for individual therapists’ work, in addition to the preparation of a report intended to put the work of Arts

Therapists on a firmer footing.

Arts in Health Care has developed a strong link with local Music Therapist, Fiona Speller who remains a key

member of the Board and Liaison Group. Fiona has been at the centre of our efforts to recognise the benefits

of the Arts Therapies and has for several years been co-ordinating, Musical Memories, a music group for

people with dementia.

6. Directory of Local Artists

Arts in Health Care has regularly updated and distributed this directory of performers whose contact details

are made available to care settings to encourage direct contact between musicians and venues. Names are

added regularly to the directory and individuals can apply to be included at any time in order to ensure a

comprehensive choice to the various agencies. The directory now appears on our website.

7. The Queens Award for Voluntary Service

In May 2012, as part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations, Arts in Health Care received the Queen's

Award for Voluntary Service in recognition of it's work enriching the lives of people in health care settings

through the provision of art and live performance. This is the highest award given to volunteer groups across

the UK for outstanding work done in their local communities. Members of Arts in Health Care were invited to

attend a garden party at Buckingham Palace and the award was presented a few weeks later at Government

House. In addition Arts in Health Care representatives were presented to Prince Charles during his recent visit

to Jersey.

8. Visits to Residential Homes and Day Care Settings

In order to ensure that the variety, content and quality of the programme of touring concerts provided by Arts

in Health Care is maintained at the highest possible standard it undertakes regular visits to a selection of care

settings to obtain feedback and assess potential needs.

9. Contacts with other Groups and Agencies

Arts in Health Care values the long-standing association with agencies such as the Health Promotion Unit,

Library Service, Education, Sport and Culture and Heath and Social Services Departments, Jersey Arts Trust,

Association of Jersey Charities, Music in Hospitals and the Jersey Arts Centre Association. The achievements

of Arts in Health Care are only possible through the generous support of the various funding bodies who make

every effort to maintain the level of assistance enjoyed over many years.

10. Website: artsinhealthcare.je

A new website for Arts in Health Care along with a new logo were made possible by a grant from the Jersey

Arts Trust. The website gives a dynamic overview of our work as well as allowing interaction with those

involved in local care settings and the wider

public. In addition Arts in Health Care can be

followed on Twitter and Facebook.

11. Future Planning

The following objectives have been fixed for 2013:

· Continue displays of the visual arts at the General Hospital and Overdale Hospital and encourage the

installation of artefacts in health care settings.

· Maintain the programme of tours by musicians provided in collaboration with Music in Hospitals.

· Commission an Artist in Residence

· Continue to support the work of the Social Activities Forum through participation in regular workshops and

through our website.

· To continue to raise awareness of the work of the Trust, develop future funding and provide a forum for those

providing arts in health care.

· Further develop and increase awareness of the Directory of Local Performers through an on-line database.

· Continue to support and extend the work of Arts Therapists.
