Abstract

Mondays at the Museum is a Creative Health initiative aimed at reducing health inequalities in underserved areas by providing accessible health and wellbeing activities at the Tolson Museum in Huddersfield. Museum staff collaborate with
Social Prescribers, Primary Care Networks (PCN) and Local Anchor organisations to expand access to mental and physical health support, outside clinical settings. The council-run Tolson is uniquely placed to provide a welcoming space, accessible without stigma. Activities provided include Big Drum, Wellbeing walks, Yoga, Tai Chi, Flex and Stretch and Crafts. Mondays at the Museum is a key example of the delivery of Kirklees Heritage Strategy approach to Heritage in Action.
