Working with Val Finigan, infant feeding co-ordinator for Pennine Acute Trust, Lime made a successful bid for £5,575 from Awards for All. This was used to commission artist Louise Gardiner to work directly with breastfeeding support groups across the trust, collecting their views on breastfeeding myths and misnomers.

The Lime Arts and Health Partnership for Older People's Project's scheme was built on the success of the Pathways project - a three year programme working with communities using creativity to explore issues around mental health and well being. Pathways was aimed at under 25s as well as over 50s, however with the POPPs scheme we could concentrate on rolling out creative sessions for older people across Manchester.
Paintings and Collages by Platt Lane Art Group
Environmental Arts Programme, Withington Community Hospital, ManchesterPCTProject Manager(s): Helen KitchenProject Artist(s): Gemma Lacey2007
Project Artist(s): Gemma Lacey2007
Lime has established a link with a local arts group which is part of the Manchester Learning Disability Partnership. Artist Gemma Lacey was commissioned to work with three of the group members to curate a selection of 10 paintings and collage artworks for permanent display on the ground floor within the Out Patients’ Waiting Area. The three members of the group are regular users of Withington Community Hospital and exhibiting their work in the Hospital has greatly boosted their self esteem and confidence which is one of the developmental aims of Platt Lane Art Group. Patients in the waiting area now have an intriguing and playful collection of artworks to divert their attention.
