Last week, our Creative Catalyst Thanet programme was showcased at the launch of Kent as the UK's first Marmot Coastal Region in Dover.

Professor Sir Michael Marmot, Director of University College London’s Institute of Health Equity and a leading global authority on health inequalities, gave the keynote speech.
