London Arts in Health Forum (LAHF) is a charity which creates and
promotes opportunities for the arts to reach everyone in society – regardless of their health or
personal circumstances. It has two primary focuses - creating opportunities for people
experiencing ill health to engage with the arts; and raising awareness of the health and
wellbeing benefits of engaging with high quality creative activity.
Over the past fifteen years, LAHF has been led by Damian Hebron, taking the
organisation from an informal grouping of hospital practitioners to a vibrant and well regarded
charity with sound finances and a wide network of support. In the autumn of 2018, Damian is
stepping down and we are looking to appoint a highly skilled and experienced Director to help
us on the next stage of our developmental journey. Our ambitions are high and include new
projects, an expansion of Creativity and Wellbeing Week, an increase in our blogs and social
media output, new events and a re-brand and overhaul of the charity and the projects it delivers
with a specific focus on increasing the diversity of the field of culture and health practice and
developing new networks and opportunities for the organization and wider sector.
Fee: £30,000
Time commitment: This is a freelance consultancy contract but it is expected that the
Director will typically work an average of 3-4 days/week.
