Bringing arts, creativity and improved well-being to older people
Arts Together is an award winning charity which improves the health, well-being and quality of life for isolated older people through the provision of a range of participatory arts projects.
For over 10 years we have been bringing professional artists and older people together for weekly arts workshops, creative activities and cultural events, which include: mosaics, music making, video production, ceramics, drama, painting, Indian hand dancing, photography, puppetry, poetry and lots more.
Through its creative approach Arts Together plays an important role in countering loneliness and isolation, and enhancing the well-being of older people. Find out more about the project, its aims and achievements here.
About Arts Together
Helping to improve well-being for older people
"Arts Together is something that once you start you don’t want to stop. I’ve learnt so much and got so much pleasure and fulfilment. I’ve done so many things I never thought I could. It’s the getting out and meeting people and it's relaxing and fun. My mind is sharper and I am able to take part in conversations about things I never did before.
I know it keeps us healthier"
