Creative Health Hub Programme
Measuring our social value As an award-winning creative arts programme, Helium Arts recognises and uses the power of art to support children and young people living with long-term health conditions. As we work to understand and evidence the impact of our services, we asked independent consultants, S3 Solutions, to define, measure and calculate the social return of our Creative Health Hubs and Remote Creative Health Hub ‘Distance Creates’
programmes. S3 Solutions evaluated programme activity between January 2019 and December 2020, and the findings support what we have long believed. Helium Arts doesn’t just impact children and young people, the effects are felt by everyone involved - from families, volunteers and artists to health professionals and the arts and health sectors as a whole.
Building on this, evidence shows that for every €1 invested, our work generated a social return of €1.98.
Generating €671,593 of social value means that our impact on stakeholders is worth almost twice as much as the funding that we received to create it.
