Dr Hannah Waterson at the University of Manchester will lead work on a new shared framework for creative health across devolved mayoral authority regions in England.
Working with the Mayoral Authorities Creative Health Network (MACHN) convened by Greater Manchester Combined Authority and Greater London Authority, the network will map policy alignment and challenges across mayoral areas and establish a first of its kind framework for embedding creative health for growth into devolved strategy.
The Mayoral Authorities Creative Health Network is a collaboration between Greater Manchester CA, Greater London Authority, Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, North East Combined Authority, South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, Tees Valley Combined Authority, West of England Combined Authority, West Midlands Combined Authority, West Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, and the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority.
