Story
Up & Out aims to maximise socialisation and physical activity in care homes, and encourage the community to engage with isolated elderly people.
We currently provide activity books for care homes around the UK. These books tell a unique, fun, comic-style story. The books are printed in black and white, providing opportunities for colouring in, and include social exercises and a chat section for people to check in and get to know one another better.
We receive repeat orders from care staff who find them a useful resource, and family members have appreciated them as a tool for engaging with their relatives.
For each story there is a listen-along option in which a cast of talented actors bring the adventure to life in a dramatised version.
As a self-funded project we are raising funds for the Christmas book drop. If we are able to raise £115 we can deliver 60 books to care homes this Christmas. We buy our books directly from the printers!
Thank you for your help.
