Embedding arts and cultural activities in every care home in Wales
Whilst people are living longer, this does not necessarily equate to living healthier. It’s vital that older people living in care homes have access to a range of cultural and artistic activities.
Age Cymru has been working with Cultural Cwtsh and the Baring Foundation developing ideas to help deliver artistic and creative activities in care homes.
cARTrefu was Age Cymru’s flagship arts in care homes project that has been running since 2015. The aim of the project is to improve the provision of creative activity in care homes and develop artist’s skills in running these sessions.
