National Day of Arts in Care Homes set for September

This year’s National Day of Arts in Care Homes will take place on 24 September, The National Activity Providers Association (NAPA) has confirmed.

The annual event, now in its fourth year, celebrates using arts and creativity to support health and wellbeing in care settings.

A week of online sessions will begin on 19 September, focused on creating meaningful arts engagement for people living with dementia.

This year’s edition will widen the conversation beyond the UK, with arts projects from partners in Canada, Mexico and France forming part of a Care Home Twinning project, developed in response to a consultation with the care sector last year.

NAPA is calling for arts organisations to get involved by registering to host an event on the event's website.
