CHO DNCC endorse the inclusion of adaptation of existing facilities, initiatives and investments that aim to enhance cultural engagement for minority groups; including Travellers, migrant communities and the LGBTQIA+ community. CHO DNCC propose that:
- Cultural events should not promote or endorse the use of alcohol.
- Cultural events should promote health protective behaviours; e.g. sun safety, sexual health.
- Rooms within existing cultural and heritage buildings could be used in more diverse ways such as to facilitate health and wellbeing groups or meet ups such as breastfeeding groups, active ageing groups particularly at off-peak times. This would provide existing health and wellbeing/community groups the experience of meeting in a local historic setting, enhance the use of the existing facility, and demonstrate a collective approach to the promotion of health and wellbeing. This could support peer-led groups such as active ageing groups, chronic disease support groups, mothers groups etc. to access low or no cost facilities but also to experience elements of culture they may not be exposed to normally.
