Creative Health Conference at Southbank Centre

We are taking part in this conference on Mon 10 June 2019 at 1pm.

Tickets are free but you need to book here.

Creativity can change people’s lives for the better – explore how at the launch event for Creativity and Wellbeing Week 2019.

The conference brings together artists, practitioners, funders and policy-makers in the arts and health sectors to discuss the progress that has been made since the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Arts, Health and Wellbeing released the report Creative Health: The Arts for Health and Wellbeing in 2017.

The conference particularly focuses on innovation and social isolation and loneliness.

Through keynote speeches from leading figures in policy-making and delivery, and panels and breakout sessions with experts in the field, we explore how we can work together in the future to expand on the invaluable cross-sector work that is being done.
