History

Pioneer Projects (Celebratory Arts) Ltd is a charity and a company limited by guarantee established in 1996 by a group of artists previously trading as Celebratory Arts for Primary Health Care. Alison Jones, John Angus and Mary Robson pioneered innovative projects working with GP’s, health and social care professionals, schools and communities in deprived urban settings addressing smoking and clean air (West Midlands from 1988); coronary heart disease (Gateshead, from 1991) and diabetes (Liverpool, including ethnic communities, from 1992). The artists became the founder members of the company and identified a board of directors/trustees with representatives from both arts and health backgrounds. In 1997, following an arts led health needs assessment, Looking Well was set up as an arts based Healthy Living Centre to serve the market town of Bentham and since 2000, activities have extended across Craven. In 1999, the project was awarded the prestigious SmithKline Beecham IMPACT Award for excellence in community health, and became one of the first Healthy Living Centres funded by the New Opportunities Fund.
