Creative Health & Wellbeing
During our year as London Borough of Culture, we piloted one of the UK largest creative health interventions, with over 20 projects supporting people’s health and wellbeing.
The profound positive impact that culture and creative opportunities can have on people’s health is at the very foundation of the Welcome to Wandsworth programme, with a focus on audience experience, participation, training, and engagement for people of all ages and backgrounds.
The Power of Creative Health Programming
Arts, culture and heritage can make a real difference to people's health and wellbeing.
2025 was Wandsworth’s year as London Borough of Culture, and our vision was to use the power of culture to spark joy, connect communities and improve the health and wellbeing of our residents.
Meet three of our partners as they share their stories and reflect on the impact of this work.
