The Trust Arts for Health programme has previously offered a wide range of interactive arts’ activities, delivered by professional artists, to engage patients and support their wellbeing and recovery. Organisations involved include the Tate Liverpool, Twin Vision, and the Comedy Trust. Activities include dance, music, comedy, animation, digital art and storytelling. Teachers collaborated with the visiting artists to arrange and support the activities and projects for pupils  in the ward classroom areas.
