We champion art as a tool for social change.

Leaders in Creative Health

 

Writerz and Scribez is a Black-Led organisation working at the intersection of art, health, and equity.

We provide co-produced creative health experiences that bring art and wellbeing into unconventional spaces, engaging those often excluded from or underrepresented in traditional healthcare and art institutions.

We are partnering with

  • National Centre for Creative Health

  • London Arts & Health

  • Culture and Wellbeing Alliance

to drive equity in the sector and in response to need have developed an Anti-Racism Training Programme.

We are involved in Creative Health Programming for Croydon Council and Wandsworth Council and are co-supervising MA Students at King’s College London completing research within Creative Health in Global Majority Communities.

Disrupting the Narrative.

We challenge conventional approaches to both healthcare and arts institutions by bringing creative health practices into diverse community spaces. Our inclusive approach breaks down barriers, driving innovative health-promoting creative activities into new environments. By forming strong relationships and embedding ourselves in local communities, we deliver impactful creative health workshops to excluded groups, including those experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, mental health challenges, and social isolation.

 

Growth and Development.

We create bespoke opportunities for artists to develop their creative practice, through peer critique, masterclasses, mentoring and artist residencies. We support our artists to create, collaborate and connect with others.

We are at the forefront of addressing racial inequalities in the creative health sector through our innovative anti-racism training programme. This comprehensive CPD course equips creative health practitioners, healthcare professionals, and arts administrators with the knowledge, skills, and strategies to embed anti-racist practices in their work.

 

Corporate Engagement

Our expertise in consultancy can transform your workplace culture and wellbeing initiatives. We offer arts-based wellbeing workshops, creative health facilitation training, and innovative events that promote employee health and creativity.

Our services help organisations integrate creative health approaches into their wellbeing strategies, while our bespoke training focuses on creating inclusive, equitable workplaces.

By engaging with us, you're not only investing in your organisation's wellbeing but also contributing to wider social change, as our corporate work directly supports our community initiatives.

 
 

“What I love about Writerz & Scribez is the way they bring things out of people. Creativity, passion, purpose, all shaped in the way they facilitate spaces. Unbelievably great.
