Engaging in projects with the potential to positively impact people's lives can be truly rewarding. Surrounded by individuals who provide support and motivation, personal growth and progress are encouraged, resulting in a feeling of achievement and satisfaction in the work accomplished. Teaming up with a group, committed to making that difference, can instil a sense of purpose and determination, inspiring individuals to excel and make valuable contributions to their community.
About the Programme
The Creative Minds Programme is a six-month initiative promoting mental health and well-being through creative activities like painting, music, writing, and more. Open to adults (over the age of 18) in West Kent, the programme offers inclusive, free sessions led by professional artists and supported by wellbeing workers. Participants need no prior experience, just enthusiasm and a desire to improve their mental health.
Key Objectives include boosting confidence, fostering connections, enhancing life skills, and increasing participants' ability to manage their mental health and support others.
Now in its second year, the programme aims to support 864 adults over three years, with a focus on those with mental health challenges or feelings of loneliness. In addition to creative workshops, the programme offers leadership training to select participants, empowering them to become "Creative Agents." These agents lead "Creative Places" to engage the wider public in community-based creative activities.
The programme is set to conclude in March 2026, with two more rounds of activities still to come.
About the role
Our Creative Minds programme, funded by the National Lottery, is designed to enhance mental health and wellbeing for adults in West Kent through engaging in creative activities. These 24-week programmes are held in various locations across West Kent and are conducted in collaboration with professional artists, local arts organisations, and our Creative Agents, supported by the West Kent Mind community wellbeing team.
The programme leverages creativity to support mental health and wellbeing.
We are seeking an Independent Evaluator to assess the effectiveness of the Creative Minds Programme, a three-year initiative supported by the National Lottery Community Fund.

- Impact: Short- and long-term effects on clients' mental health and well-being.

- Public Outcomes: Community engagement with programme results.
- Challenges and Lessons Learned: Identification of challenges and strategies used, with insights for future projects.
Methodology will include a mixed approach using surveys, interviews, observations, case studies, and data analysis, including metrics from the Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (SWEMWBS).
Deliverables:
- Evaluation plan with data collection tools.
- Interim report (May 2025) with preliminary findings and adjustments.
- Final report (March 2026) detailing programme impact, challenges, and recommendations.
