Many of our followers have been keen to find out more about our Monday Creative group for those affected by dementia so we decided to have an open day to promote our Arts for Brain Health project.

Therefore on Tuesday 17th October 2023 we opened the doors at Keighley Creative and hosted a small exhibition of artwork and stories created by our Monday Creative: Living Well with Dementia group throughout the day.

Visitors were invited to drop in any time to meet the Arts for Brain Health facilitators, Ailsa and Carine, and view the beautiful artwork and inspiring stories that have been created by the group attendees over the last year.

The open day aimed to show more about what the group offers and allow people the opportunity to see if the Monday Creative group might be good for you and a family member.

Have you heard about our Monday Group?

Keighley Creative’s Arts for Brain Health group is held weekly on a Monday, from 1.30pm till 3.30pm and offers people living with dementia and their carers a chance to meet new people and have a go at creative activities together.

Hands-on group work is proven to bring health and happiness benefits and can involve people of any ability or at any stage of dementia. They use lots of different methods and materials to create art or tell stories.

The group ensures it is friendly and welcoming to all, and new members are welcome. It prides itself on offering a kind, caring, fun and stimulating learning environment in the heart of Keighley.

The Monday Creative group is run by qualified art therapist, Ailsa Lewer, and artist, Carine Brosse, both of whom have many years experience in working with and supporting those affected by long-term neurological conditions.

To book a trial session or just pop in for a cuppa, please contact Ailsa on 07423 154855, by phone or text, or email ailsa@keighleycreative.org
