Intro to Creative Mojo

We offer a truly unique art & craft experience for adults with dementia and the elderly. We currently visit a number of local homes in the area where we’re able to increase engagement and participation. As partners with NAPA, Care England and Age UK, we deliver high-quality projects and classes for everyone to enjoy. 

We’re aware of the meaningful impact activities in settings provide for residents' mental and emotional wellbeing, whilst recognising this is sometimes not at the high quality level able to be provided by homes, and that is where we come in to offer the additional support. 

Our classes are fun, hands on and inspirational and we work with any size group - the more the merrier! Depending on capabilities and home staffing, classes are available for up to 30 participants per session. We also offer individual 1-2-1s.

The activity calendar is based around what you have in-house, budget and focusses on 4 main areas with activities provided: 

• Mental and Cognitive Stimulation; with the use of activity packs, Reminiscence Workshops and brain-teasing games.
• Wellbeing; Pamper Days, 1-1 activities that are person centred, increasing group engagement by providing open-house events and in home events.
• Physical Activity; Music and Movement sessions, activities such as skittles or parachute work.
• Creativity; from Poetry to art and craft, baking or needlework, providing an easy option to rekindle a lost passion or trying something new.

All of the above is subject to residents' capacity and interests and all plans are person-centred with the needs and wants of residents at the forefront. A “one size fits all” approach is something we feel passionately against, as individuality of homes and the residents is something to be encouraged and enhanced. 

The specialist art programme covers seasonal themes, allowing residents to explore their creativity. We regularly hold national competitions and participate in all major events; and with 100s of projects to choose from, there’s something for everyone! Upcoming themes include RSPB Big Bird Watch, spring murals and Easter.

We always charge the same price for a group session, which includes coming into the location, providing all materials and producing a finished piece of artwork. The cost starts at £50 per hour session and £70 for a 1.5 hour session. Our 1.5 hour can be split into a 45 minute group session and 45 minutes of 1-2-1s in residents' rooms, who wouldn’t have the capacity to join the group session. 

Myself and my staff each hold an enhanced DBS check and are fully insured. We can also provide participation certificates and information for CQC via email and/or hard copies if requested at no extra charge. 

Please have a look at our Facebook for examples of work, reviews from local homes and for a better understanding of what we offer.

Bookings can be made on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis.
