Creative Dementia Arts Network

Creative Dementia Arts Network charity aims to improve the health and well-being of people with dementia and those who care for them by providing training, networking opportunities and support for arts practitioners, and health and social care professionals. They believe that participation in music, singing, theatre, drama, dance, visual arts, crafts and other creative arts are beneficial for people with dementia. Their mission is to promote the use of creative arts as a means of improving the health and well-being of individuals living with dementia, their families and communities. They do this through providing artists, arts organisations and educators with information and resources for their work and facilitating the sharing and exchange of best practice. They also connect creative arts providers with commissioners working across cultural, health, social care, housing and business sectors to raise awareness of the value of creative arts for dementia.
