Artists needed for new dementia project

Manx Care is calling on artists to support a new project for people with dementia.

The scheme involves group sessions for people with the illness and their family and friends, which will be held monthly starting from September.

The health body is looking to include different art forms, such as music, drama, pottery, poetry and visual art.

The project has been set up by the Older Persons Mental Health Service in collaboration with the Alzheimer's Society and Admiral Nurses Team, and is funded by the Arts Council.
