Creative Horizons Cumbria
Creative Horizons Cumbria is a Social Enterprise, using the past and present creatively to enrich the lives of older people, including those with memory loss/dementia and their carers through a creative reminiscence programme of activities. Some of the activities, based around the life stages, include poetry, art and craft, drama, role play, music and singing. Life story work is also a key feature of what we do. There is also the opportunity to be involved in projects and go on trips to interesting places. The aim is to provide a fun, friendly and engaging environment for socialising and to promote well-being. A team of trained volunteers support the programme.
