silvers & carers

silvers & carers

A supportive and creative space for adults and elderly people with memory problems, and any form of dementia, and their care givers 

Fortnightly on Fridays

10am-12pm (doors open at 9.45am)

Next dates: 6th and 20th December 

We would like to let you know about a new funding initiative that we have just launched through Spacehive to help us support our essential Silvers & Carers Group. It is in the form of a crowdfunder that is supported by Stroud District Council.
Spacehive helps communities raise funds for projects that improve the wellbeing and resilience of vulnerable people within the local community.

We need your help to make this work, you can support us by:

  1. Backing the project (any amount, however small or large will help, as what is required by the council is to show that this support group is supported by the wider community). 
  2. Spreading the News! Please share the link and the initiative to as many people as you can, through email, social media, word of mouth, any way you can.

 

Imagine offers a fortnightly group: an opportunity for the ‘Silvers’ – adults and elderly people who need support and encouragement to engage in a creative activity and their ‘Carers’ (a family member, or a friend, or a professional care giver) who wish also to be supported and nourished by the arts, knowing that the person they care for is being looked after in the next room. A breathing space for both! 

You are welcome to join one or as many sessions as you wish, if there is space.
The sessions are free, donations are welcome.


Advance booking (by email / phone) is required as places are limited 

 

 

We are grateful for the support received in 2023 from the Stroud Rotary Club towards the setting up of the group Silvers & Carers.

It is thanks to The Scrooge Fund, APAT (The Association for the Promotion of Artistic Therapy), and a private donor that we are able to offer this group in 2024.  

We need the help of the whole community to continue to run the Silvers & Carers support group in 2025! Please, follow the link to find out how you can support us. Thank you!
