So so sad to hear of Wendy’s passing and reading her last blog brought me to tears, very thought provoking too, as ever, sending love 2 Sarah, Gemma & all Wendy’s friends & colleagues living with dementia
This is Sarah and Gemma, Wendy’s daughters. Our mum died peacefully early this morning. She wrote a blog post before she died so you can read about it from her perspective. Sarah and Gemma https://t.co/PgQCUFKK6H

Delighted to see our #CraftCafé Govan members get the recognition they deserve after all their hard work! Their 'Back Court Concert' appeared on the 6pm news last night, showcasing the launch of their amazing exhibition at @TheBoardwalkGla yesterday.

Lighting tonight’s #candleforcare thinking of all who are #deaf and hard of #hearing, all who support and care for them especially all who are #older. We must always work to make #inclusion real and more than a word.

Loved this. Everyone got involved and helped to create such beautiful artwork. Looking forward to the exhibition later in the year.
Meditative mark making at our Govan Craft Cafe 🌿 Our members made their own 'paintbrushes' and used them to experiment with Indian ink on long scrolls of paper - losing themselves in the process 🖌️

"The atmosphere at Craft Cafe is unique in its inclusiveness and friendliness. It’s like nowhere else." Nothing delights us more than bringing people together through art. Art is connection, understanding, and community - and that is what you see at our Craft Cafes. #WorldArtDay

Absolutely yes to this. As someone said to me, ‘the controllers are having a heyday’ & the biggest risk right now as we age is we are wrapped in cotton wool and then die of boredom, loneliness & lack of hope. We need to call this out every day & support older adults to LIVE.

Joint collage many of #CraftCafe members have contributed to for the Out of Sight, Out of Mind exhibition, about creativity & mental health. Made as the theme for the exhibition is 'gatherings', using the Craft Cafe as an example of a place that uses creativity for wellbeing ❤
