Creativity and Wellbeing Week is a festival led by London Arts and Health and the Culture Health and Wellbeing Alliance and funded by Arts Council England.

This is a special commissioned episode reflecting on the festival week past and present to help understand the value of it to the creative health sector. I spent time listening at online events and interviewed a selection of people representing a range of organisations and perspectives about their work, how and why they get involved, and how they think the festival could evolve.

All my guests were generous with their time, offering unique, thoughtful and insightful conversation about Creativity and Wellbeing Week, and about the power of creativity for our health and wellbeing in different contexts.

Guests:

Anna Woolf, London Arts and Health

Professor Kevin Fenton, Public Health London

Sam Beal, Norwich Theatres

Daniela Nofal, Counterpoints Arts

Nafeesa Arshad, Hospital Rooms

Julie Tolhurst, Barnsley Council Public Health
