Welcome to Arts 4 Dementia!
Arts 4 Dementia offers, lists and signposts stimulating arts opportunities for people living with dementia in the community nationwide. Now, when older people are more alone than ever – and carers’ needs for socialising and self expression are also desperate – we are delivering interactive inspirational arts programmes accessible from home, which participants enjoy together, all free of charge; we train arts workshop leaders to deliver their own and we research and signpost wide-ranging arts workshops, interactive experiences and performances, so that people affected by dementia can find opportunities online or nearby.
You can help transform the lives of people living with dementia in the community by supporting Arts 4 Dementia here!
