Spare Tyre will be joining the Redbridge Carers Support Service (RCSS) during their monthly drop ins, to provide creative and sensory activities for older people with dementia and their carers. 

During the workshops, our facilitators will engage in a range of creative and sensory arts activities, designed to stimulate cognitive function and improve mental wellbeing. Our facilitators will invite participants to join them in crafting, moving to music, and conversation. Activities will be flexible around the needs and interests of participants and we encourage carers and those they care for to all get involved. 

The workshops aim to:

  • stimulate cognitive function through creative engagements
  • reduce isolation and loneliness in carers through social interaction
  • provide meaningful creative activities for people with less access to it

During sessions we'll also be asking carers to speak with us about their own needs, interests and experiences, as we design a larger scale creative project that supports carers specifically.
