Creative Health & Wellbeing
At the heart of Wandsworth’s London Borough of Culture programme is a bold commitment to Creative Health, embedding arts and culture into wellbeing at an unprecedented scale. Culture heals - and through a series of pioneering initiatives, Wandsworth will set a new benchmark for integrating creativity into health and social care throughout the life cycle.
Culturally Mindful
Memory Boxes
Memory Boxes for Dementia, in partnership with the University of Roehampton and local organisations, will bring Wandsworth’s rich heritage collection into care homes and community spaces. These bespoke interactive time capsules - filled with sensory objects, archive materials, and recordings - will be used to spark connection, trigger memories, and support wellbeing for people living with dementia.

Cultural Social Prescribing
The borough is also continuing its groundbreaking Cultural Social Prescribing initiative in partnership with Enable, expanding access to arts-based health interventions across GPs, hospitals, and voluntary sector networks. By embedding creative health into social prescribing pathways, Wandsworth is ensuring that arts and culture remain a core part of preventative healthcare and community wellbeing.
Brighter Living Fair 2025
The Brighter Living Fair events are for adults looking for care and support services in Wandsworth that promote healthy, safe and independent lifestyles.
Once again, this year we are working with local organisations to host lots of community events between Wednesday 1 and Friday 31 October 2025. Coinciding with International Older People's Day and Silver Sunday, we will be celebrating active lifestyles and being connected within your local community.
A timetable of events will be published in September to help you plan which ones you might like to attend.
Eating Well Together
Wandsworth Council has brought together healthy eating resources made by and for our communities. Whether you're looking for culturally relevant guidance, support for older adults, or accessible cook-alongs, there's something here for everyone.
