Creative Conversations project

The Creative Conversations project has been launched in our area as a result of Wiltshire Council Area Board funding.

The scheme is part of the Celebrating Age initiative and aims to support older people who are housebound or feeling isolated.

Creative Conversations provides each participant with weekly one to one phone conversations over a 10 week period: 5 sessions with a creative artist and 5 sessions with a volunteer to develop their interests, skills, well-being and creativity. The results from other areas have been very positive, with participants really looking forward to their calls each week and feeling inspired and encouraged to take up creativity activity they have perhaps not done for a while, or are completely new to.

If you can think of any older people who perhaps are house bound and very isolated and would benefit from this weekly interaction we'd love to hear from you. You can refer people using the referral form here: Creative Conversation Referral (google.com)
