Culture, creativity and heritage makes Torbay a better place in which to live, work, learn and visit. Torbay Culture was set up with support from Arts Council England to provide strategic leadership for the local culture sector, and progress the cultural strategy which is focused around people and place.
CHANGING LIVES
This area focuses on improving the wellbeing, health and happiness of local residents through cultural participation. Torbay’s civic motto means ‘health and happiness’ and in partnership with colleagues in public health, local government, NHS and community organisations we have developed projects that contribute to this, including models of social prescribing, the innovative Torbay Care Charter, and research and evidence to inform future work.
