University College London and Canterbury Christ Church University have won two prestigious Royal Society of Public Health Awards, one for ‘Health & Wellbeing’ in the category ‘Arts and Health’ and the other, a special commendation for ‘Sustainable Development’ awarded by the RSPH panel of judges. The project established novel programmes of museum-based, creative activities for lonely, older adults aged 65-94 years at risk of social isolation.
