Salford Creative Health Network

In Salford we believe that our health and wellbeing is improved by connecting with culture, creativity and heritage.

Creative health recognises the link between wellbeing and the arts – whether that’s drawing or diamond art, cheerleading or cookery, making music or visiting museums.

• The Salford Creative Health Network is for any local community groups, arts organisations, health or social care services looking to understand the relationship between arts and health better.
• If you’ve had a personal experience of creativity improving your wellbeing we would love to hear from you.
• Members of lived-experience forums are especially welcome, as are artists and creative practitioners.

The Salford Creative Health Network has recently appointed 4 new Community Representatives to the Steering Group. These new members will work alongside existing reps from Salford City Council, Salford CVS and Salford Community Leisure. You can find more information below.

The Network has around 150 members and meets 3-4 times each year.

During 2024-5 we have funding from the Salford Culture Place Partnership and Booths Charities to work with 8 community groups across the city to co-design together a Salford Creative Health Action Plan. You can find more information below.

If you are interested in joining the Network or if you have any questions, please email caroline.alexander@scll.co.uk.

The Network would like to thank the Distributors of the Booth Charities and the Culture Place Partnership team for their support.
