A creative workshop with Llandough Hospital Mental Health Services for Older People (MHSOP)

Llandough Mhsop

This project partnered with The Cardiff and Vale Arts Health and Wellbeing Program and took place on the MHSOP East Dementia Wards at Llandough Hospital. For the first part of this project, my group and I facilitated a bunting-making workshop that offered creative opportunities for participants with dementia. This activity was designed to create opportunities for staff to get to know participants better and to value and celebrate the richness of participant’s lives.

Activity box instructions (2023)

Keeping the same aims in mind, my group and I put together a box for the ward that included an activity participants could do with staff or family members. Our activity choice reflected what we learned about the participants’ abilities and preferences during our first session. These boxes, along with instruction sheets, were gifted to the ward during the opening of our exhibition at Hearth Gallery in Llandough Hospital. Click here to learn more about this exhibition.
