Art with Heart is a project focused on supporting those with dementia to explore arts and culture from around the world, including art, language and poetry.
Learning for the Fourth Age were delighted to receive funding from the Leicestershire and Rutland Community Foundation to cover sessions in two care settings with a specialist in both dementia and creative arts.
Our thanks to Vicky Olivera for taking the time to plan, organise and deliver the sessions At Agnes House and St George’s care homes and special thanks to our volunteer Safooraa for supporting these sessions, which were well received by staff and residents alike.
