From close listening at the policy design events, we identified principles to take this work forwards:
- Build the Creative Health City from the ground up.
- Improve commissioning routes.
- Direct investment according to need.
- Share knowledge and tools, evidence and evaluation.
- Develop the creative health workforce.
- Make creative health integral to the future of London.
We’re delighted all this work has had extra momentum through the APPG Creative Health Review, published December 2023. This invites metropolitan mayors to “…support creative health and work in partnership with ICS leaders to deliver develop sustainable creative health infrastructure at scale, making best use of local assets”.
It seems we are now moving towards a tipping point to reaching the goal. Through partnerships and collaboration, we’re on the journey to build London Creative Health City, together. City Hall and our partners, and the many thousands involved in supporting Londoner’s to thrive, continue to explore how to activate London’s resources to meet this ambition.
