Create Well

We are an informal network based in Greater Manchester, championing creative health. Our members come from a range of sectors including the arts, heritage, health, care, education, and the voluntary sector. They all share a belief in the power of creative activity to enhance wellbeing and tackle health and social inequalities.

Sharing knowledge

Together, we exchange knowledge, share resources, and work collaboratively to build communities where creativity is embedded in daily life—and within our health and care systems. Our vision is a healthier Greater Manchester, where everyone can access and enjoy the benefits of arts and creativity.

This blog will be a place where we share news, events & opportunities. If you have something to share please email us at bailey@cartwheelarts.org.uk
