Emerging priorities (DELPHI)1.We need a common definition of wellbeing on which to base evaluation and research2. Evidence is needed to secure and maintain funding for culture and sport3. Evaluation should identify what doesn’t work as well as what works4. The review should encompass evidence produced by a diverse groups of stakeholders (professionals, practitioners, service delivery organisations)5. The review should include rigorous qualitative evidence in culture and support6. Quality assessment in evidence should include the extent to which evaluation has been informed by the views of those who take part in culture and sport7. The key dimensions of wellbeing are: Confidence and self-esteem; coping and resilience; and belonging and social identity (top ranked)8. Populations: general population: open access community based culture and sport.9. Settings: community based culture, sport and leisure10. Interventions: Group based interventions led by a volunteer or peer
