The £1,000 donation will directly support the delivery of our free creative health sessions for older adults and carers across Kent. Each week, our trained Therapeutic Arts Practitioners lead inclusive, research-informed sessions combining singing, movement, rhythm, breathwork, art and storytelling – activities proven to boost mood, mobility, confidence and social connection. The funding will contribute to practitioner fees, venue hire, travel and creative materials, enabling us to keep these sessions free and accessible for people living with dementia, Parkinson’s, stroke recovery, COPD, disabilities, bereavement, mental ill-health and chronic loneliness.
For many participants, our groups are their only meaningful social contact each week. Your support will help create warm community spaces where people rediscover joy, build friendships, strengthen physical and cognitive health, and receive respite alongside their carers. Past evaluations have shown 97% of participants report improved wellbeing, while carers experience reduced stress and enhanced family relationships.
Your donation will help us protect a vital lifeline for some of Kent’s most underserved older adults.
