Drawing on some of the findings from the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Arts, Health and Wellbeing Inquiry into the role of the arts and culture in health and wellbeing, this briefing sets out some of the ways in which the arts can help local government better support the health and wellbeing of its communities. This acknowledges the combined responsibilities of local government for the arts, public health, wellbeing and older people’s services as well as many factors influencing the social determinants of health. It highlights areas such as: arts on social prescription, which can help to restore people’s mental and physical health and generate cost savings; the use of arts in care homes to improve residents' quality of life; and the role of local government in unblocking barriers to cultural participation in their communities.

This report provides an overview of housing provision in relation to health and wellbeing within local areas in England. It is designed to supplement the LGA’s ‘Health and wellbeing in England: a focus on housing’ report that explores housing and health in local authority, by providing an overview of the population and factors affecting housing conditions, and potentially health and wellbeing, at ward level. To focus on areas of most concern, charts have been limited to show 50 wards, highlighting those with the most challenging circumstances, relative to other wards in the area, at the top of the chart. The maps show the distribution of various metrics at ward level. For each area, the report covers: living arrangements, population characteristics, health and wellbeing of the general population, and health and wellbeing among older people and children.
