Creative activities in care settings: survey from Luminate

Creative activities in care settings: survey from Luminate

Luminate – Scotland’s creative ageing organisation – needs your help.  They are trying to find out more about creative activities taking place in care settings in Scotland.  

Following 6 successful nationwide creative ageing festivals, Luminate are now developing a year-round programme and they really need your help to shape this work.  Planned activities across Scotland include artists residencies, a national arts in care seminar and regular training with artists working in care settings, but to do this well the Luminate team needs to know more about what’s already happening, what strengths they should be building on and where the gaps are.

You can help them by filling in this short survey: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/LumMapSC.

 The team are keen to hear from anyone who knows about the work that’s going on in Scottish care settings – including care staff, volunteers, artists, residents, friends and family members.  Duplicate information isn’t a problem as Luminate will sort that out when they review everything that’s sent.

The survey should take no more than a few minutes to complete, and the deadline for responses is 28th April.  To thank you for your time Luminate will invite you to enter into a prize draw to win a £50 Amazon voucher.

If you have any questions about this survey, please contact Luminate at [email protected] / 0131 668 8066.
