What’s happening in London?
Across London, arts, cultural, and VCSE organisations are delivering activities that have a huge impact on people’s health, supporting people who experience health inequalities, and improving the lives of many across the city every day.
The journey so far
In September, we announced a new project funded by Greater London Authority (GLA) to support the arts, cultural, and Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sectors to identify and communicate the impact of creative health activities.
This pilot project brings together arts and VCSE organisations in South East London with health partners from the South East London NHS Integrated Care System (ICS). Phase 1 of the project involved desktop research by Civil Society Consulting. We then moved on to engaging with stakeholders, led by creative health consultant Jane Willis.
What’s next?
The result of this work is a Creative Health Impact Framework: a series of tools designed to support arts, cultural, and VCSE organisations to understand, evidence, and communicate the impact of their work in relation to inequalities and health improvement in a way that aligns with health priorities and makes sense to health partners.
We hope that this new Framework will support organisations to:
- Co-produce creative solutions to clearly identified health needs with health partners
- Plan and deliver appropriate, proportional, and effective evaluation
- Communicate compelling stories of impact in ways that align with health priorities and make sense to health partners
The Framework is now being finalised and we hope to share it in the new year. If you are interested in finding out more, please email Stephanie or subscribe to our e-bulletin below.
