We are delighted that residents of Aranlaw Care Home in #Bournemouth, Trinity Manor Care Home in #Sherborne, Trafalgar Residential Care Home and Queen Charlotte Care Home in #Weymouth will be whisked off to the seaside from the comfort of their own room!
Paul spent the day distributing sensory audio story packs to those living with dementia based in residential/care settings throughout #Dorset.
'Beside the Sea' was created in collaboration with @BraveBoldDrama.
The project was commissioned by @ActivatePArts as part of the 'Creative Communities in Quarantine' micro commissions fund and supported by additional funding from @TNLComFund.
Today is National Day of Arts in Care Homes #AICH2020 We're excited that @FreneticFoxProd is working with three Dorset care homes as part of our micro commission programme. The project Beside the Sea recalls memories through audio and other sensory prompts https://t.co/PGd8PckKze

We're excited to announce that we have been commissioned by @ActivatePArts as part of their Creative Communities in Quarantine micro-commissions fund to develop 'Beside The Sea', a sensory audio story suited to those living with dementia.
Despite the lockdown we're knee-deep in the development of #Sub!
We're also pursuing funding avenues to develop this into a digitalised story, accesible online, which blends audio and graphic novel style illustration - so keep your fingers crossed!

OI!
We've gone a little quiet as of late, but we're back!
