21st April 2021These sessions will bring together older people from Carers Centre Tower Hamlets and The Diamond Club (an older people’s support club in Lewisham) to share memories and enjoy art, music and movement, storytelling and having fun. The theme for the weekly sessions is “This Happy Place”, enabling us to share the places we love with one another and to explore them through reminiscence, imagination, and creativity.
You do not need to be an older person anyone can join; it is for carers and the people they care for.
