Songs for Health Equality

Public-health information is easy to ignore and easy to forget. A song isn't. Each track is a small “audio fable” that hides the vegetables (the evidence) inside something tasty: the tune. It uses entertainment-education and the pull of a good story to make health information stick where a leaflet wouldn't.

A collection of 5 songs, each built around a specific local health inequality, including:

• wellbeing access for refugees and asylum seekers;
• housing and wellbeing;
• weight stigma and healthcare avoidance;
• transport barriers to care; and
• poverty and food insecurity.

The songs are shared with Community Health Champions and third-sector partners as conversation-starters in listening sessions, and published with learning notes on a simple digital Songbook page. Facilitator worksheets accompany the tracks with lyrics and questions, designed for group use.
