Story

At Arts 4 Dementia, we transform the lives of people living with dementia and those who care for them, through the joy of the arts. Since 2011, we have been delivering and championing artistic activity to profoundly enhance wellbeing, harnessing creative skills that can remain vibrant for years after dementia onset.

Our arts programmes run for 6-10 weeks at a time and vary from poetry writing, dancing, painting to sculpture. We have been lucky enough to partner with some incredible arts organisations such as The Science Museum, The Garden Museum, The Royal Opera House and Central Saint Martins, the UK's leading college of art and design. These inspirational settings allow our participants to access new environments, engage with others and use a variety of art materials.

Our mission: Through participating in challenging art activities, our mission is to preserve the identity, sense of purpose, interests and joy of the those affected by dementia and those who care for them.

Our vision: We envision a society where people with dementia regularly engage in creative activities, challenges and adventures while enjoying life to the full without stigma.

I'm learning that art is not just about paintings, the facilitators give everyone time to take part and have their voices heard. I'm learning that I can express myself in art.
