Residents will benefit from ‘Creativity in Care’ coming into the home weekly for a 2-hour session for the next 12-months where they will be hosting a creative arts session. Daniel from Creativity in art has supported Residents in a variety of creative sessions. The project is provided by the “Reaching communities’ fund” from the big lottery which provides grants to voluntary and community organisations to fund projects.
Residents have already benefitted from some impressionist painting sessions and some Origami flower making and many have said they really enjoy the sessions and look forward to them. Art therapy is a popular way of helping Residents relax and be social, it is believed to reduce stress and boredom and benefits Residents by improving motor and physical skills.
