Creative Health Network
The Creative Health Network brings together people and organisations in Croydon interested in creative health
The Network aims:
- To create a more joined-up workforce
- Act as a central point for the sector to access training
- Provide funding and advocacy support
- To link in with wider London and national creative health initiatives.
Launched in January 2025 based on sector feedback and input, the Network’s main priorities are to facilitate:
- Networking opportunities for people to meet and work together
- An accessible list of venues for groups to hire and use
- Shared marketing pathways to better reach communities with opportunities
- Free training around creative practice, marketing, evaluation and fundraising
- Database of local evidence and case studies to support fundraising and advocacy
The Network especially aims to ensure that currently under-served communities are better represented and help make the local arts and health offer more robust and wide-reaching.
Anyone working in or interested in the Creative Health sector – including individuals, artists, volunteers, health partners and community groups or organisations – is encouraged to join.
Join the Network by signing up to our monthly Creative Health Newsletter, which includes information on upcoming events, opportunities to get involved, funding and training news and sector updates.
