Arts for Health Cornwall
The charity Arts for Health Cornwall and IoS are seeking enthusiastic, caring volunteers to assist with their Older Persons Creativity Project. This is a countywide project, based in several Residential Care Homes and Community Hospitals, including Falmouth, Redruth / Camborne Community Hospitals and Care homes in Truro, Tregony, Coverack, Hayle etc.
Teams consisting of an experienced artistic practitioner, a member of staff and a volunteer will work together in each of the settings to deliver a programme of creativity for the older clients. The projects range from music and movement, singing, painting, to arts and craft based activities. The purpose of the projects is to improve the health and well being of the older residents through creativity.
The Practitioner will work closely with the volunteer and staff throughout the initial 3 month period to develop the teams' skills, confidence and knowledge to support the delivery of creativity in both the short and long terms.
Ongoing personal development, support and networking opportunities will be available. Travel expenses will be paid.
