AESOP is an arts charity and social enterprise

AESOP’s proposition is:

The UK is blessed with world-class arts.
Arts programmes are on the periphery of programmes working to achieve positive social change.
The work is almost entirely limited to ‘arts push’ – arts organisations taking the initiative with limited impact evidence, sustainability and growth.
The arts have the potential now to add ‘society pull’ – start with challenges/unmet needs in society, scan all artistic options and create something suitable, effective, cost-effective, sustainable and capable of growing.
