Sustaining the Person Within is launched!

Kathryn Pettitt and I have been preparing for the launch of our arts project 'Sustaining the Person Within' for what seems like forever!  Our presentation was part of An Insider Guide to Arts Work with Older People Event at Solihull Arts Complex today, 8th September.  Our presentation was a bit different involving some art students from Rayner House Residential Home in Solihull - while the presentation went on they did some painting at a table set for an art session.  There was a lovely display of memorabilia and our interactive ice breaker gave the audience time to think about the things they would miss about home if they moved into resdential care.  Kathryn and I will now be planning the next stage of the project - starting art and craft sessions in residential care homes and day centres in and around Solihull.  We will tell you more in due course.
