Background

Since the closure of the National Network for Arts in Health four years ago, there has been no strategic overview or national lobbying organisation to represent the arts and health infrastructure. London Arts in Health Forum (LAHF) has received funding from Arts Council England to take the lead in drawing together a group of organisations from across the country who will act in partnership to promote understanding of the impact the arts can have on health and wellbeing and support the growth and co-ordination of the sector.

This website has been compiled by LAHF in association with these partners in the field of arts in health. To find out more about these organisations and get in touch with them, please visit the Contacts section of this site or click on the links below.
