KEEPING VULNERABLE OLDER PEOPLE ACTIVE Music reduces agitation and need for medication in 67% of people with dementia. 1 in 10 people aged 65 feel chronically lonely all or most of the time. 2 in 5 older people say TV is their main companion. WHAT WE DID We worked with 68 older people from 4 London boroughs to prevent loneliness and social isolation. Collaborative workshops exploring film, photography, visual art, creative writing, dance and music enabled the participants to build social networks, express themselves creatively and learn new skills. PAULINE’S STORY Pauline is a resident at the Selig Court independent living Jewish Care campus. She took part in our creativity:revealed project, which brought together older people who attend three different Jewish Care services for collaborative creative workshops. She told us why she enjoyed the project: “I have been involved in the filmmaking, art, music and spoken word workshops. I have in particular enjoyed music but art as well. At the start of the art workshop I thought ‘I can’t draw or paint’ but yet we managed to do all that. What the artists enabled us to do was amazing. I loved everything about the music - how we made up the words from nothing, how we put it all together was great. “I look forward to the sharing and also to the workshops next year. I’ve loved every Wednesday; having a go, trying things out, it’s marvellous. I would definitely love to do this all again!” 16
GIVING SCHOOLCHILDREN IN POVERTY ACCESS TO THE ARTS A lack of financial literacy is now considered a major factor in lowincome families. The wealthiest, best educated and least ethnically diverse 8% of society make up nearly half of live music audiences and a third of theatregoers and gallery visitors. Students from low-income families who take part in arts activities at school are three times more likely to get a degree than children from low-income families who do not. THE WORKSHOP HAS HIGHLIGHTED A WHOLE NEW WAY TO ORGANISE A CLASS TO ENSURE THAT EVERYONE CONTRIBUTES. Class teacher WHAT WE DID On our A Wealth of Stages programme 101 young people in London developed their financial literacy through drama workshops. They took part in group games, role playing scenarios, script writing and performance to explore spending, saving, responsible and ethical use of money, and needs versus wants. A day trip to the Bank of England Museum provided further information and context. <strong>Impact</strong> Report 2018/19 17
