A Good Life: Cultural Strategy for 2025-2028
A Good Life is a transformational approach to the long-term wellbeing of Havering’s residents within a radically changing place. Empowering communities, nurturing social connectivity, addressing inequality, building a sustainable creative ecology, and promoting good physical and mental health are foundations of the strategy.
Five principles for A Good Life
1. Developing a Creative Health Borough
Intricately weaving the concept of long-term wellbeing through cultural activity.
2. Transforming the Cultural Ecology
Capacity building to benefit from growth and seeking a levelling up in investment.
3. Redefining Heritage for the 21st Century
Rebalancing the widest definition of heritage, to better include the borough’s new population.
4. Every Child and Young Person Engaging in Culture
Uniting education and arts partners to empower young people and make them feel proud.
5. Addressing Social and Environmental Justice
Helping lead the way in dismantling inequalities and addressing the climate emergency.
