Programme
DAY 1 – THURSDAY 31ST OCTOBER
Developing a collaborative regional strategy for arts and health, and Annual General Meeting
Introduction: Our collaborative regional strategy identifies loneliness, mental health and social prescribing as regional priorities.
Collaboration: At what geographic scale does collaboration between arts and health providers and practitioners make sense to you?
We will learn about collaborative work in three different localities: the Community Connections social prescribing project in South Ward in Weston-super-Mare; work across Torbay led by Torbay Culture; and strategic initiatives with Cornwall County Council.
Steve Brown, Deputy Director of Public Health for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly will give a keynote with Jayne Howard, Director of Arts Well UK CIC. We also have Francis Mason, Head of Partnerships, People and Housing at Torbay Council speaking with Cat Radford from Torbay Culture about their partnership work. This will be followed by a panel discussion on the Community Connections Social Prescribing project in South Ward, Weston-super-Mare, involving Alliance Homes, the For All Healthy Living Centre and Theatre Orchard. Delegates will have lots of opportunities to engage with and contribute to the development of our collaborative regional strategy.
Co-production: how do we ensure that people with lived experience of ill-health are part of our discussions and plans at every stage? Panel discussion
Breakout sessions will give you an opportunity to contribute to the development of the regional strategy and to get creative.
