How this cause brings people in the community together
Our ‘Power of Good’ sessions for older people will help participants feel less isolated as they join with others to enjoy interests that they say do them “the power of good”. A carer living with dementia, feeling anxious, can join a session including calming meditations and ways to ease stress. A disabled widow can explore history and have a friendly chat about what they have achieved in their lives. Regular positive, enjoyable connections with others will address the need for ongoing wellbeing support for our elders. Sessions will connect people to wider Healthy Arts activities, festivals, new interests, places to visit and new friends. One participant has said “I really look forward to Tuesday afternoons. They are like an oasis of calm mixed with a friendly and warm atmosphere.”
