Are you part of an organisation delivering participatory art activities in Hackney or Tower Hamlets? Or are you a link worker or other health or social care professional interested in fostering links with the local creative sector?

Queen Mary University of London, in collaboration with Creative Wick, are hosting a catered networking event at our Mile End campus (room to be confirmed), which we’d like to invite you to. The event aims at forging links between local arts organisations delivering social impact. It also aims at fostering discussion and sharing about the viability and value of creative industry provision for social prescribing in East London, and forging connections with the health sector and social prescribers.

The workshop will be hosted by Dr Maria Grazia Turri (Queen Mary University of London).

This event is part of a wider piece of research from Queen Mary University of London and Creative Wick, looking at the current state of social prescribing in East London. If you would like to learn more about this research, please contact the principal investigator Maria at m.turri@qmul.ac.uk

We are also running a survey aimed at arts organisations in Hackney and Tower Hamlets, seeking to understand their views on social prescribing, the impact of arts on health, and the current state of funding. We would be very grateful if you would be able to complete the survey here – https://forms.gle/F8P8WkebYABR8dUP9
