About
Creative Wellness
Creative Wellness is a community-led health and wellbeing organisation based in Barking & Dagenham, founded in 2015 to address health inequalities and improve access to preventative health support within local communities.
Our mission is to empower individuals and families to lead healthier lives through accessible, culturally responsive programmes that promote physical health, mental wellbeing and social connection. We work closely with communities, partners and local organisations to design initiatives that respond to real needs and create lasting positive change.
Our programmes take a holistic approach to wellbeing, combining nutrition education, healthy cooking, physical activity, mental wellbeing support and community engagement. Through workshops, community initiatives and health awareness activities, we support people of all ages to develop healthier habits and improve their quality of life.
Creative Wellness delivers programmes across schools, community centres and local events throughout East London, with a strong focus on supporting underserved and ethnically diverse communities and reducing barriers to health information and opportunities.
By working collaboratively with residents, partners and commissioners, we continue to develop inclusive programmes that strengthen wellbeing and build healthier, more resilient communities.
