Fantastic new example on the Creative Health Toolkit, of how grassroots organisations can come together to influence systems. The Hoxton Creative Health Hub is an informal consortium (made up of over 20 organisations) who aim to address health inequalities by using culture and collaborative partnership working to build informal and formal referral pathways. The Hub has brought the primary care network, community navigators and social prescribers together with the providers to raise awareness and to work together to increase referrals. Working with a NCCH Creative Health Associate, hosted by NHS North East London Integrated Care Board (ICB), meetings have also been attended by Personalised Care teams from the ICB place-based partnership in Hackney.

Recently our Midlands Creative Health Associate Jane Hearst hosted a roundtable discussion looking at the theme of Anti-Racism and Ethnic Diversity in Creative Health. This event came about in response to the lack of ethnic diversity we noticed in strategic creative health spaces, and we wanted to better understand how we can become a more inclusive organisation and what our role might be in advocating for inclusion elsewhere in the world of creative health. Chairing the event was Thahmina Begum, an Artist-Researcher and qualified Art Psychotherapist (HCPC, BAAT). She was joined by four panellists: Jemilea Wisdom-Baako, founder of Writerz and Scribez; Dr Tanisha Spratt, Senior Lecturer in Racism and Health; Mubasshir Ajaz, Head of Health and Communities at West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA); and Helen Harrison, Assistant Director Public Health, Birmingham City Council.
