  2. Celebrating Creativity and Wellbeing Week

    Two people look through books and art supplies on a cluttered table during Mental Health Awareness Week Lambeth 2026. Books, zines, circular paper cut-outs, scissors, and a badge-making machine cover the surface; only their hands and arms are visible.

    It’s Creativity and Wellbeing Week! Running from 18 to 24 May 2026, communities across the country are coming together to engage in creative activities, and celebrate their impact on health and wellbeing.

    The benefits of creative health are numerous, from helping to manage long term health conditions to promoting better mental and physical health through:

    • Connection with others
    • The opportunity to learn and develop new skills
    • Moving your body
    • Expressing yourself artistically

    Creative health can also play a role in strengthening community and creating healthier neighbourhoods.
