Offaly County Council

Arts and health is an important sector for Offaly County Council, for the creative, expressive, wellbeing, social and community benefit of participants but also for the professional development of local artists. Our Arts Plan 2012 – 2016 states ‘Maintain support to Anam Beo, the arts and health programme in their mission to provide non-judgemental process led art workshops within a safe healthcare and sociable environment where taking part is more important than the end product.’

We provide an annual grant to Anam Beo (alongside the HSE) an independent arts organisation who provide regular workshops in healthcare facilities and day care centres, which includes the Renal Unit of  Tullamore Hospital the Attic Workshop, for mental health service users in Tullamore.
