Resonate Arts

Resonate Arts produces a pioneering programme of creative activities and experiences for and with people living with dementia and their families in the boroughs of Westminster and Kensington & Chelsea.

We believe that engagement in the arts and creativity has enduring effects on well-being, health and quality of life for people living with dementia.

Our programme of activities range from group sessions in community settings and online, to individual visits with people living in their own homes who are at risk of experiencing loneliness and isolation. We work across all art forms including music, visual arts, poetry and spoken word, dance and theatre. Activities are designed to enhance and compliment individual care plans, and help people connect to their wider community.

We offer our volunteer Creative Befrienders programme, community projects, workshops and events and our monthly Resonate Now letter.
