Wellbeing in everything we do

Since 2018, 20 Stories High have been funded by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation to explore how, as an arts organisation, we place mental health and wellbeing at the heart of the company and what it means for:

the young people we work with

the professional artists and practitioners we co-create with

the audiences that see our work

the team that makes it all happen.

On this page you’ll find information, resources and reflections on our process.

These State of Mind philosophies are now fully embedded in our culture, but as always we continue to learn and grow, and are always keen to hear from other organisations about their own journeys and practice.

20 Stories High also received an OFFIES One Off Special Award for our ‘Commitment to care for all’ as part of the State of Mind project.

Please do get in touch with any responses or feedback!

State of Mind Chronicles

As part of our dissemination of learning, Anni Raw & Associates have created a series of chronicles – exploring key themes of our learning.

They will be published across 2022 and available to download below.

These Chronicles have been built upon the foundations of Anni’s ‘Storybuilding’ process – observing sessions and reflecting with Associate Maddy Irwin and our Storybuilding Associates, Anita Welsh, Joe Taylor, and Paislie Reid.

 

All our Chronicles are now available!
