As we write, autumn is sweeping across the East and the crunch of leaves underfoot begins to signal a time for rest and renewal. It seems the perfect moment to announce the growth of our Around the Table programme which, from next month, will provide respite and inspiration to even more family carers. We’re also loving getting out and about in the burnished countryside as part of our new rural arts programme for older people, Make, Do & Friends, which launched this month.
And as we continue to celebrate 10 years of our Clown Round project, we’re on the hunt for a new team member to manage the project. More on this, and from one of our longest serving Clown Doctors, below.
Wishing you a colourful and creative autumn,
Hayley & Alex, Co-Directors
