Creative Health

What Do We Do?

We are Dorset’s Creative Health Hub. We bring together the cultural and health sectors to work jointly and strategically to enable more people to do creative activity which benefits their health and wellbeing.

We have led on the development of Dorset’s inaugural Creative Health Strategy with partners in the NHS Dorset, Dorset HealthCare, Dorset County Hospital, Arts University Bournemouth, Dorset Council, BCP Council and many cultural and community organisations. This sets a shared strategic direction for the next five years.

We also host a monthly forum for those working in Creative Health and a quarterly network for cultural organisations.

Dorset Creative Health Strategy

The full Dorset Creative Health Strategy will be launched on Creativity and Wellbeing week 2026, 18th - 24th May.
