Opportunity for Writer in Residence – Age Concern ... - Helix Arts

Appendix 1 – Management and Administration
Management/Support
The Moving On programme is managed and administered by Helix Arts and South of
the Tyne ISSP. A number of key structures are in place to support and deliver the
programme successfully. These include a Management Team representing all parties
and a Link Person on site to liaise with and support the artist on a day-to-day basis.
Within this framework careful monitoring will take place at regular intervals throughout
the programme duration, to ensure it is proceeding to the satisfaction of all parties and
to address any issues that may arise.
Project Partners
Helix Arts
Helix Arts specialises in the development of projects and initiatives exploring the role
and potential of the arts in a social context. Long-term partnerships, particularly with
the public and voluntary sectors, enable Helix to produce projects designed to
engender broad participation, collaboration and sustainability.
Established in 1983 (as Artists’ Agency) we have worked with more than 200 artists in
the delivery of over 150 projects with an increasing focus on international partnerships.
Helix Arts has charitable status and is revenue funded by Arts Council England, North
East. For further information, visit www.helixarts.com
ISSP
The South of the Tyne Intensive Supervision and Surveillance Programme (ISSP) is
targeted at prolific and serious young offenders aged between 12-18 years. Managed
by a consortium of local authorities (Sunderland, Gateshead and South Tyneside)
working with partner agencies to provide a strict and closely monitored regime, taking
the place of a custodial sentence. Most of the young people spend six months on ISSP
with the aims of reducing the frequency and seriousness of offending within this group;
tackling the underlying needs of offenders, particularly education/training; and
providing reassurance to communities through close surveillance and rigorous
enforcement.
Project Funding
The 2008/09 Moving On programme is funded by South of the Tyne Intensive
Supervision and Surveillance Programme, Arts Council England, North East and
Northern Rock Foundation.
