MARCH: Social, Cultural and Community Assets for Mental Health
Lead Research Organisation:
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON
Department Name: Behavioural Science and Health
Abstract
The 'MARCH' Network proposes that Assets for Resilient Communities lie at the heart of Mental Health (M-ARC-H) and is dedicated to advancing research into the impact of these assets in enhancing public mental health and wellbeing, preventing mental illness and supporting those living with mental health conditions. Specifically, it will advance our understanding of the impact of social, cultural and community assets including the arts, culture, heritage, libraries, parks, community gardens, allotments, leisure centres, volunteer associations, social clubs and community groups, of which there are an anticipated 1 million in the UK. The network will bring together a Disciplinary Expert Group of researchers with a Policy Group of major national policy bodies, a Patient Public Involvement Group of national mental health charities, and a Community Engagement Group of national organisations. Across three years, our network will unite research with policy and practice to tackle critical questions of research priorities, methods, and implementation in this field; understand and resolve barriers to mobilising community assets; and provide training and support to the next generation of researchers.
Specifically, our network will address questions organised in two core work streams (WS):
WS1. Cross-disciplinary research and challenges: (a) What evidence is there, from a cross-disciplinary perspective, for how and why community assets impact on public health and wellbeing and the lives of those living with mental health problems, and where are the gaps for future research? (b) How can we use a cross-disciplinary approach to provide meaningful data to different stakeholders and users?
WS2. Equity of engagement and access innovation: (a) Who amongst the UK population, demographically and geographically, currently engages with these programmes and how does participation vary dependent on mental health? (b) What are the current barriers and enablers to engagement at an individual, organisational and policy level and how can we develop innovative approaches to enhance engagement, especially amongst the vulnerable?
This research work will be complemented by a rich portfolio of impact, engagement and training activities (see 'Impact Summary').
This network aligns with strategic priorities of the AHRC and ESRC as well as having a secondary relevance to the priorities of the MRC (through its consideration of the role of community assets and social prescribing to support medical approaches to mental health), NERC (through its exploration of the impact of green spaces) and EPSRC (through its focus on the opportunities provided by technology for driving research forwards). It has also been designed in response to the Network Plus Research Agenda. In addition to the objectives already discussed in the prior Je-S section, it is responsive to many of the mental health challenges cited in the agenda. For example, the call specification noted that only 25% of people with mental health problems receive ongoing treatment. Whilst there are recognised economic and resource constraints with delivering sufficient mental health services, this Network proposes to focus on the role that existing community assets could play in providing support to a much wider range of people in the UK including those on waiting lists. As another example, the call specification raised that 70% of children and adolescents with mental health problems have not had appropriate interventions at an earlier age. This Network will involve working with policy makers and community organisations to see how research could help overcome barriers to access with the aim of engaging more young people and those who are hard to reach. Overall, the network will seek to understand and support future research into how community assets could be mobilised to encourage more resilient individuals and communities with a greater understanding of and capacity for self-management of mental health.

Planned Impact
A rich suite of events and activities map onto the research in the two Work Streams including two Impact and Engagement Objectives (IEO) and an Impact Development Objective (IDO).
IEO1 will focus on connecting research with a) policy and b) practice with the aim of advancing best practice and encouraging high quality evaluations and research. In partnership with the What Works Centre for Wellbeing and Mental Health Foundation, the network will turn its four reports into policy briefings and disseminate to the Policy Group and wider policy stakeholders (IEO1a). The network will also co-host meetings with the Social Prescribing Network and NHS England, help to assess the Royal Society for Public Health community awards to celebrate best practice and develop bespoke activities with further Community Engagement Group partners (IEO1b). Our short-term aim is that by 2021, concise reports on social, cultural and community engagement and mental health are available to all major policy stakeholders and national practice organisations, with the medium-term aim that mental health begins to be included in the strategies and programmes of Community Engagement Groups, so that in the long-term the value of community assets is drawn on more to support mental health in the UK.
IEO2 will focus on advancing a) public engagement, b) stigma reduction and c) access innovation. We have a suite of programmes including a Citizen Science project planned with the BBC to raise public awareness about the importance of community assets for mental health and will explore other media opportunities utilising existing connections (IEO2a). We will work with the Community Engagement Group to look at how activities themselves such as singing, performance and art could be used to reduce stigma associated with mental illness (IEO2b). And in partnership with NESTA we will test the recommendations for access innovation with individual local community programmes using NESTA's 100-day rapid cycling process. Our short-term aim is that across the life-time of the Network, there is enhanced awareness of the impact of community assets for mental health amongst the general public, which, along with the development of more targeted access innovation programmes, will generate engagement in the medium term. In the long term, this should lead to more geographically and demographically balanced inclusion, especially by those with mental health conditions.
Finally, IDO1 is about training the next generation of researchers to advance cross-disciplinary research in close partnership with community organisations and healthcare professionals. Building on the existing 700-person Early Career Research Network for Arts, Humanities, Health and Medicine led by Fancourt we will continue to support regional networking events, online resources and a podcast series. We will also work with the Royal Society for Public Health to develop a new online training programme to support those starting their careers doing cross-disciplinary work in social, cultural and community assets and mental health. Our short-term aim is that ECRs are provided with a much stronger national structure to engage with others working on similar areas, breaking through traditional disciplinary silos, and the chance to apply for £80,000 grants to seed fund their own research. In the medium term, our aim is that ECRs are better trained and given stronger platforms to develop their research skills in partnership with community organisations, to the simultaneous benefit of the wider community sector. Long-term this should provide a connected and engaged new generation of researchers to advance work in this field, meaning that overall this Network both responds to the immediate Work Streams posed in this application and also develops research expertise especially amongst younger researchers to be able to tackle the critical Work Streams of the future.
This work is supported by £225,000 in kind from our partners.

| Description | We have worked with over 300 members of the network to co-produce a new Research Agenda for the field, which is due to be published shortly in British Journal of Psychiatry Open. This highlights the research gaps that you have identified that most urgently need filling. We have used this research agenda to guide our own distribution of plus funds. We have worked with the MARCH Disciplinary Expert Group to identify "mechanisms of action" that link leisure engagement to mental and physical health, in total mapping over 600 mechanisms that have been either proposed or tested and have synthesised these into a new framework using the lens of complexity science. The paper will be published shortly in Lancet Psychiatry. We have published an evidence synthesis report with the World Health Organisation that brings together the findings from over 3,000 studies on arts and health. The report was named the Global Aesthetic Achievement of 2019. We have also produced follow-on policy briefings for WHO and the UK Department for Culture, Media and Sport. We have spoken about our work to the UN, UCLG (United Cities and Local Governments), OECD (Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development) and several All Party Parliamentary Groups. We have been working to map the barriers and motivators to social, cultural and community engagement and have run focus groups and interviews with network members including individuals with lived experience of mental illness, GPs involved in social prescribing, and community organisations. We've also analysed data from national datasets and published our findings in six scientific papers. We have worked closely with the BBC's annual 'Get Creative' Festival, supporting the communication of research to the public. This continued during the pandemic, with the festival promoting ways to remain creative at home. We ran two major BBC Citizen Science experiments involving over 98,000 people, with the data now publicly available for analysis. We are working closely with community organisations to support their work with policy briefings developed from original MARCH research, and a free online training course on community assets and mental health to be developed next year. Amongst our members, 14% say they have increased their own community engagement since joining MARCH. We have worked to support the national roll-out of social prescribing. We hosted the policy conference 'Arts on Prescription' in November 2019 - a sold-out event that featured speakers including James Sanderson Director of Personalised Care for NHS England and Miranda Wolpert Head of Mental Health at Wellcome, along with representatives from Public Health England, several arts organisations and individuals with lived experience. We have also collaborated with NHS England undertaking the first analyses of NHS data from London looking at the reach and impact of the social prescribing roll-out, written a policy briefing on social prescribing for DCMS, and presented at a number of social prescribing conferences and policy days. We also supported ECR and MBBS student Henry Aughterson in applying for PhD funding from UCLH, which has led to a 3-year funded PhD exploring the barriers and enablers of social prescribing within primary care in the UK. In March, we responded rapidly to the unfolding pandemic by drawing on the expertise and connections within the MARCH Network to establish the COVID-19 Social Study (the largest study into the psychological and social impact of the pandemic) and the COVID-MINDS Network (an international network of over 140 longitudinal mental health studies from 70 countries). The MARCH Network's COVID-19-related research has led to over 70 reports and scientific papers produced since April 2020. We have communicated this work weekly to the Cabinet Office, multiple government departments, the ONS Covid Response Unit, the COVID Commission, PHE, the UN, WHO, several APPGs and dozens of community and third sector organisations. |
| Exploitation Route | Yes. The work of the network is being taken forward by special interest groups and the publications, reports and new theory developments we have made are having a substantial impact on work in the field. |

| Description | Between 2018 and 2021, MARCH worked with researchers, community organisations, policy groups, mental health charities, and people with lived experience of mental health conditions across the UK to transform our understanding of the role of social, cultural, and community assets in mental health. Here's a closer look at our top achievements: 1. Our Research Community The MARCH Network far exceeded its anticipated reach. Membership grew to nearly 2,000 members, with over 4,000 people following us on Twitter and 324 early career researchers joining our community. We coordinated 12 Special Interest Groups involving 859 members, and nearly 800 members took part in our online Basecamp discussion forum. 2. Research Agenda and Funding We worked with over 300 members of the network to co-produce a new Research Agenda, published in the British Journal of Psychiatry Open, that identified the most pressing research gaps in the field. Guided by this agenda, we distributed £280,000 to researchers to support seven new research projects and eight events for 150 people. These projects led to new insights into key topics, as well as the writing of new guidelines for involving people with lived experience, publishing evidence-based practice resources for community organisations, developing new sustainability indicators for community assets, and piloting new community interventions across different populations. 3. Collaborative Research In collaboration with members from our network, we have used national datasets and qualitative interviews to map the barriers and enablers of social, cultural, and community engagement, publishing a suite of papers on the implications for asset accessibility and health equity. 4. New Scientific Frameworks We worked with the MARCH Disciplinary Expert Group to identify over 600 "mechanisms of action" and 139 "active ingredients" that link leisure engagement to mental and physical health, published in The Lancet Psychiatry & Wellcome Open Research. This work is helping us to understand what it is about engaging in social, cultural, and community assets that is important for health. 5. Policy Influence We published an evidence synthesis report with the World Health Organisation, winning the Global Aesthetic Achievement of 2019. We also shared our work with UK government bodies, including DCMS, DfE, DHSC, NHS England, and several All-Party Parliamentary Groups. The United Nations, United Cities and Local Governments, the OECD, and other international agencies have also relied on our work. 6. Social prescribing roll-out We have also supported the national roll-out of social prescribing by hosting the 'Arts on Prescription' conference, collaborating with NHS England to analyse the impact of the roll-out, and by presenting at a number of other social prescribing conferences and policy days. We have also launched new social prescribing interventions that are now in clinical trials in the UK, and we are designing and evaluating social prescribing pilots in the US, Romania, Denmark, and Italy. 7. Media Work Through our partnership with the BBC, we've contributed to dozens of television and radio programmes, and we were the scientific partner for the BBC's annual 'Get Creative' Festival, supporting the communication of research to the public. As part of this, we ran two major BBC Citizen Science experiments involving over 98,000 people and made the data publicly available for other researchers to use. 8. ECR Support We continually support training and development for young researchers and have worked with 65 ECRs to deliver blogs, social media activity, and podcasts. We have run three week-long trainings in the UK and USA for over 120 ECRs, led two research blitz events for community organisations, and supported the Arts Health Early Career Research Network, a community of over 1,300 ECRs. With the Royal Society of Public Health, we also launched a new online course on the effects of the arts, culture, and heritage on health, with free subscriptions available to ECRs. 9. COVID-19 Response Thanks to the strong links in our network we were able to respond rapidly to the pandemic. We launched a Creative Isolation web page to help people cope with the challenges of home confinement, which attracted 142,000 hits during the first lockdown. We also launched the COVID-19 Social study, the largest UK study on the psychological and social impact of the pandemic, gathering longitudinal data from over 70,000 participants, 30,000 written testimonials, and 400 interviews. 36% of March members played a role in the study's creation, and as a result we've published hundreds of papers and were able to advise multiple government bodies during crucial times in the pandemic. We also launched the COVID-MINDS Network to support and encourage collaboration between academic teams conducting over 170 longitudinal mental health studies in 60 countries. 10. Leaving a legacy Even though the MARCH Network has now come to an end, its legacy will continue to be felt. MARCH members have now received over £25 million in research funding from other sources in response to their involvement with the network, and more research grants are in development. We've also created a new website to host resources for our community and to celebrate our collective achievements. Finally, in recognition of our work, the World Health Organization has recognised our group as the first WHO Collaborating Centre for Arts & Health in the world. This means that we will be able to extend the findings and best practices developed through MARCH to researchers, community organisations, and policymakers around the world. |
