There is a growing interest in the value of arts and culture in supporting health and wellbeing.

Key Points: 
  • There is a growing interest in the value of arts and culture in supporting health and wellbeing.
  • For example, the government’s Know Your Neighbourhood Fund, aimed at tackling loneliness, has earmarked £5 million to expand arts, culture and heritage activities across 27 target areas.
  • At the Centre for Cultural Value, we have spent the past two years exploring research to learn about the impact of culture on health and wellbeing.
  • This has resulted in an apparent postcode lottery for what does and doesn’t get commissioned by the NHS.

Scaling understanding

    • One answer lies in developing a better understanding over a longer term.
    • Previous studies show that the creative and cultural sectors can be powerful drivers of innovation, job creation and economic growth.
    • However, alongside our partners at The Audience Agency, we will focus on drawing out arguably the more difficult-to-quantify social impacts.

Capturing complexity: the next steps

    • Capturing and conveying the nuanced value of culture in health and wellbeing is complex, but not impossible.
    • This partly means shifting away from short-term funding models, where small pots of money are available for time-limited projects.
    • They can also provide powerful moments of joy, connection and wonder – at a time when people need them most.
