This web site was developed to provide support to health and arts organisations across the region, and to provide information, advice and guidance around health and arts and to highlight work generated through the Critical Connections programme.

The aims of the Critical Connections programme were to:

• Develop confidence, thinking and practice around the health and arts in Yorkshire and The Humber region
• Develop resources and information in order that professionals within the health and arts sectors are better informed
• Raise awareness of and a heightened profile for the health and arts through targeted advocacy

The Critical Connections programme is currently dormant, with discussions taking place about what comes next but this website remains live to host useful information for and about the sector.

The site is currently only occasionally updated but it is still determined by what is actually happening in the region, and we welcome your input into the content of the site. You can:
