Soundup Arts Community Interest Company

Engagement in the creative arts supports and improves the quality of life for people living with dementia and those who support them. The arts can help foster a sense of self and identity and create space for expression, reminiscence and learning. Creativity can help foster connections in new and varied ways, making it a powerful tool in dementia care, and in creating and sustaining relationships. ​ Symptoms of dementia often result in progressive changes to cognition, memory or ability for individuals. These symptoms may mean a change of communication needs for both those living with dementia and those who support them. There is a lack of accessible creative resources available to people living with dementia and we want to change this. We aim to provide access to effective creative arts activities that build connection, identity, confidence, and joy. We have experienced the magical moments that occur when people are enabled to express themselves creatively, and we want to empower you to make magical moments of your own.
