Take Five: Let’s Build a Creative Health Network for North Somerset!

Are you an artist, health professional, or someone passionate about creativity and wellbeing? Join us for an inspiring afternoon of connection and collaboration as we explore what a Creative Health Network could look like for North Somerset.

This relaxed and imaginative session is a chance to share ideas, build partnerships, and shape a vision for creative health in our community. Let’s come together to spark something new!

What is a Creative Health Board?

Creative Health Boards operate successfully in several areas of the country. Typically a Creative Health board will contain representation from the arts and community sectors, alongside individuals from health and care services, and academia. It is a collaborative, people-driven forum that seeks to embed creativity as a central part of the healthcare system, acting as a bridge between community assets and health prevention & provision.
