Director of public health report 2024: creating a healthier Croydon
Every year, the Director of Public Health produces an independent report to raise awareness of local health issues and health inequalities, and support evidence-based decision making.
This year's report focuses on creative health, specifically how activities delivered by the creative sector in Croydon can benefit residents' health and wellbeing. This report builds on the legacy of Croydon's experience as London Borough of Culture in 2023.
Creative health activities typically include visual and performing arts, crafts, film, literature, cooking and creative activities based in nature, such as gardening.
This report makes the case - via a Call to Action and series of recommendations - for greater investment in creative health in Croydon, and for partners to join together to develop sustainable creative health offer for residents.
