What does creativity mean to you?
We’re pleased to be contributing to the National Activity Providers Association (NAPA) Creative Connections for Men project, supported by The Baring Foundation.
Men living in two of our homes took part in focus groups exploring what creativity means to them and the experiences, interests and opportunities they value.
Their contributions will help shape resources and e-learning courses to support meaningful creative opportunities for older men across care and community settings.
We are committed to ensuring that the people living in our homes shape the decisions and opportunities that affect their lives. It was wonderful to hear the men share their voices, helping shape work that will reach beyond their own homes.
Thank you to the activity teams whose skill and dedication helped make sessions a success, and to NAPA for the opportunity to contribute to this valued project.
We look forward to supporting the men to influence what happens next.

Older men share their experiences, interests and perspectives to help shape creative opportunities that recognise individuality, encourage meaningful participation and support wellbeing, connection and a sense of purpose.
