This booklet gives a snapshot of how the arts contribute to wellbeing in North Liverpool, focusing particularly on work supported by LARC. It is based on approximately 30 interviews undertaken between June and October 2010 by François Matarasso and Gerri Moriarty on behalf of LARC. Data were crosschecked with relevant written records and project evaluation reports. It is not an evaluation of the complex and varied work that LARC and other organisations are engaged with but a record of and reflection on people’s lived experience.
