We have two new projects for the caring community which offer Free creative wellbeing activities for people in caring roles, paid or unpaid across BaNES called ‘Inspiring People who Care’ and Free activities for Care Homes called – ‘Inspiring Care Homes’ where artists will visit Care Homes in BaNES between January to March 2022. The brochures [see links below] give the latest updated dates of what’s on offer.

So if you, or someone you know is a carer – please take a look at what’s on offer – and share! Some of the courses have been rescheduled and now have slightly later start dates. The courses have now been split into two brochures to make it easier for you to find the right creative course for you and or the care home, and the Inspiring People who Care offer, is free to anyone working or volunteering in a caring role or organisation.
