Evaluating Arts on Prescription programmes is essential for understanding their impact and improving their effectiveness.
Evaluation involves gathering feedback from participants, link workers and facilitators and is used to get a clearer picture of what is progressing well and what needs improvement.
Evaluation also helps demonstrate the value of AoP programmes to decision-makers, funding agencies, and the wider community, ensuring continued support and resources. Ultimately, a well-planned evaluation allows for informed decision-making which enhances the lives of participants and maximise the potential of AoP initiatives.
