GM Creative Health will deliver a step-change in how the residents of GM, particularly those experiencing the most acute inequalities, engage with and enjoy culture and creativity by embedding creative health into the GM health & social care ecosystem and consolidating creative health as part of GM’s solution for a fairer, healthier, greener city region.
We will grow a sustainable and embedded creative health infrastructure and demonstrate how CH approaches can be delivered sustainably, at scale and in partnership, focussing on areas of most need and on work with communities experiencing the most acute health inequalities.
