Making Time

Making Time is a new social enterprise that radically transforms the day to day lives of older people in care through increased access to the arts.

That's a wrap! Making Time has rolled out arts activities training to all 120 of @AnchorHanover's care homes across the country. Can't wait to hear about the creative sessions that staff lead with their residents over the next few months #creativitymatters #artforall #dementia

We met this lovely bunch in Darlington @ElderwoodCare last week. They got well and truly stuck into our arts training and produced all these amazing artworks. They’ll be leading art sessions with their residents across the north of England. #hiddentalents #notallheroeswearcapes
