South East London ICB and Southbank Centre Unite for Health and Arts Partnership

We’re delighted to announce an exciting partnership between the South East London Integrated Care Board (SEL ICB) and the Southbank Centre. Together, we’re using the power of the creative arts to improve health and wellbeing for communities in south east London, especially for children and young people.

On 19 December 2024, leaders from SEL ICB and the Southbank Centre signed a Memorandum of Understanding to officially launch this collaboration. The partnership will focus on supporting the development of:

• The Southbank Children and Young People’s Creative Health Centre: A dedicated space for creative health programmes providing interventions that improve and support the mental health and wellbeing of local children and young people.
• Waiting Well Interventions: Supporting children on CAMHS waiting lists through creative activities.
• Creative Health Prevention Programmes: Using the arts to promote better mental health and prevent issues before they arise.
