Care Home Creative Sessions

We provide art sessions to care homes across Sussex, giving older people the chance to relax through painting and crafting and new for 2026 we are launching knitting circles. We provide all of the art materials and an experienced session leader who can take up to a group of 12. We support attendees create wonderful art and connect with each other. Sessions are between 1-1.5hrs and we have various days available. The idea with the knitting circles is to knit with purpose, for local charities and people in need.
