Abstract

This essay illustrates the potential of an arts-based

community-led intervention for promoting community

connectedness and engagement. We first provide a brief

overview of the topic area and then describe the specific

arts-based intervention led by People United. We describe

findings from a compreh ensive mixed-methods evaluation

to demonstrate the effectiveness of this programme for

promoting community connectedness and engagement.

Finally, we outline the implications of these findings for

practitioners and policy-makers.
