| Recipient Org: Description | Cultural Activities in Care Homes (CACH) is an innovative project within Forth Valley University of the Third Age (FVU3A), the local U3A for retired or semi-retired people in the Forth Valley area, Central Scotland. The U3A offers interest groups and activities to stretch the mind or body and opportunities to socialise with like-minded older people. FVU3A, established in 2004, now has over 470 members and around 70 interest groups as well as a social programme. CACH members, through personal and professional experience, were concerned at the lack of meaningful activities for older people living in long term care. The project was launched in 2008 and aims to: provide stimulating activities and broaden the range of cultural and leisure opportunities available to residents of care homes for older people; enhance the quality of care home residents? lives and encourage their inclusion in meaningful activities; and promote learning between younger and older generations. To meet these aims the project took a range of creative and imaginative approaches. Since September 2008 CACH has organised over 800 events in care homes, including performances by school children, reminiscence and life story work, intergenerational work, music and dancing. The work of the project is ongoing. |
