Art for Wellbeing and Enterprise was a year long collaboration between Cartwheel Arts and Bubble Enterprises across Wigan borough, funded by the Working Neighbourhoods Fund through Wigan Council. The initial focus was on adults with mild to moderate mental health problems, but this was later widened to include any residents from deprived neighbourhoods in the borough who wanted to boost their confidence, learn new art techniques and develop a range of business skills.

The project concluded with a month of activities that consisted of an exhibition and a lantern procession.

The exhibition took place at the Derby Room, Turnpike Gallery in Leigh and featured mosaics, painting, drawing and giant willow sculptures.

The procession, Take a Walk on the Wild Side, took place at Dorset Road Community Centre.
