Creative Health Marketplaces
WAHWN’s free marketplace events take place across in community venues across Wales, offering colleagues from Wales’ arts, health and third sectors an opportunity to connect and network locally.
Funded by the National Lottery ‘Awards for All Wales’, they will take place bi-monthly during 2024 with the aim to improve referrals, creative prescribing and collaborations across arts and health in Wales’ regions.
"Our marketplaces are ‘speed-dating’ events that build strong relationships. They join the dots; improve referrals; enable creative prescribing and collaborations; support social connection" -- Angela Rogers, Executive Director, WAWHN
