About Arts 4 Dementia
Arts 4 Dementia is a small charity but a leader in our field. We offer challenging arts programmes with arts organisations for people in the early stages of dementia and their companions. We train facilitators from around the country in early-stage dementia awareness and how to deliver effective arts-based activities for people living with dementia. Our website provides a unique national mapped listing of arts workshops for people living with dementia enabling them to find local opportunities. The charity is also playing a leading role in a national initiative for social prescribing (guidance from GPs and associated “link workers” towards activities for wellbeing) for people living with dementia.
