Hastings is a space of huge cultural creativity and significant community assets. We are working with a range of VCSE organisations, health and social care providers, the local councils and the public in Hastings to embed community creativity into the health systems.

By increasing visibility of creative groups and organisations, and by recognising and strengthening partnerships, we aim to raise wider awareness of the significant role that creativity can and should play in health and wellbeing. By both strengthening existing networks and building more links, we aim to support the growth of creative community assets in Hastings. We will also be supporting and enhancing the skills and knowledge of organisations, service providers, and the local population around creativity and health.

We will be holding numerous Discussion Forums over the next 3 years, and developing creative community projects; if you are interested in joining the network or would like more information please contact creativehealthse@kent.ac.uk
