This is an important tool for us in working out what we offer members and also what goes in (and out) of the newsletter. And we rely on your input. Over recent years, the newsletter has become a really important barometer of work in arts in health in London and beyond so it would be great if you could take five minutes to fill in the survey here: www.surveymonkey.com/s/LAHF before Monday 23 January.
The London Creativity and Wellbeing Week 2012 will take place from June 13-20 this summer and promises to be a great showcase for the huge variety of arts and health activity in the capital. There is still time to get involved and include your events or just to start planning what you want to see and do!

LAHF is planning some research into the barriers, challenges and incentives facing commissioners looking to work with the arts and we are keen to hear from you! We are looking for connections with commissioners (be they from PCTs, Local Authorities, GPs or Acute Settings) in order to find out first hand how we can help improve the opportunities for arts activity to be commissioned in health. So, if you are a commissioner or an arts organisation working with commissioners and would be willing to get in touch as we begin this work, it would be great to hear from you.
We are delighted to announce a new initiative, the London Creativity and Wellbeing Week 2012. This will take place from 13-20 June, this summer, and promises to be a great showcase for the huge variety and power of arts and health activity in the capital. The Week will kick off with a keynote lecture from award-winning writer AL Kennedy, and will include tours, showcase events, talks, seminars and networking opportunities.
In case anyone missed it, in the last newsletter we announced our Wellcome Trust-funded project for this Olympic summer, Fidget. Details can be found here: http://fidgetproject.org.uk/ We are close to finalising our touring dates for the summer tour of Fidget but still have a couple of gaps – if you would be interested in Fidget coming to you then check out the website for more details.
LAHF is pleased to announce a new project which will be running for the next year. Fidget is an interactive tour which will explore the truth about sedentary behaviour and the science behind sitting.
In 2012, LAHF is expanding its staff team and firstly we are looking to recruit a Marketing and Development Associate to join the organisation from February to support the Director in raising the profile of LAHF’s work and developing strategic opportunities for the organisation as it joins Arts Council England’s National Portfolio.
