Our core strandsOur programme of activities range from group sessions in community settings to one-to-one interventions for people living in their own homes who are at risk of isolation.
We work across the arts on projects such as music, visual arts, poetry, dance, performing arts and more. Activities are designed to enhance and compliment individual care plans, and help people to feel part of their wider community. |

Cheers! Our special Summer Soiree cocktail.
October
We had a lovely start to Autumn with our Silver Sunday event at the Wallace Collection in partnership with Wigmore Hall and the Royal Academy of Music (RAM). Participants experienced a tour led by professional artist Sara, and then took park in a music making workshop with musicians and students from the RAM. It was a pleasure to also listen to improvised performances in the gallery, performed in response to the paintings!
We are delighted to have begun our Music for Thought project in the lovely surroundings of Bay 20 community centre in Ladbroke Grove. Participants from across the borough of Kensington and Chelsea are coming together for eight weeks for music making, singing and lyric writing. The project is offered in collaboration with the RAM and students from their Open Academy and Fellowship programmes, and Wigmore Hall’s Music for Life musicians.
September
This month we have been delighted to share ideas about the work with some Japanese research colleagues and also the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. It was the first Music for the Moment concert of the season at St Marylebone church. As we move into Autumn we celebrate with three exciting Creative Befriending matches, watch this space for developments! We are recruiting or Creative and Cultural Befrienders, for more information and how to apply.
August
This month we were delighted to host our Summer Soiree at the beautiful St Cuthbert’s Centre. We were thrilled to be joined by two classically trained singers, Sam and Tom who had joined us for our Opera for Thought project. The afternoon was attended by 70 guests who enjoyed delicious home-made cake, entertainment and corsage making.
We have also been very busy meeting with individuals across Westminster and Kensington and Chelsea, in addition to hosting two events as part of a consultation process in partnership with the council. These conversations will help inform the bi-borough dementia strategy, of which the final report will be published later this year. Special thank you to RIBA and Westminster Cathedral for hosting our events and the wonderful Terezie Wickenden, Westminster’s Dementia Advisor for all her support as part of the consultations.
