Falkirk’s Adult Support and Protection (ASP) Committee is calling for passionate and creative third sector groups and organisations interested in taking part of an arts-based festival in order to communicate and raise awareness around important messages.

The ASP Committee is committed to raising awareness and promoting the development of knowledge and skills for employees within public bodies, third sector, service providers and members of the public when it comes to supporting adults at risk of harm.

They believe that using the arts as a medium to captivate engagement, understanding and community awareness is a positive and empowering way to do this. They also hope to use this as an opportunity to celebrate ability and overcoming adversity.

They are looking to hear from groups if they or the people they represent have experience of arts based engagement, or would like to be involved in a programme of events linked to the topic of Adult Protection.
