Request for Quotations: Bradford 2025 Creative Health Evaluation
Project Overview
As part of its commitment to inclusive cultural engagement, Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture is delivering a flagship Creative Health strand. This programme embeds creative and cultural approaches into local health and care systems, helping to address health inequalities across Bradford District and Craven.
Creative Health supports people to engage in arts and cultural activity not only as audiences, but as active participants in their own health and wellbeing.
The Creative Health programme includes three key components:
- Social Prescribing Awards
- Creative Health Community of Practice
- Regional engagement – Aligning Bradford’s Creative Health agenda with the West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s broader plans for reducing health inequalities and improving community wellbeing.
