Cwmpas Spooky Lantern Session. Companionship dementia care and support in Barry

Cwmpas Spooky Lantern Session

In October we joined the Cwmpas group held at the Age Connects Wellbeing café in Barry.

The group were given jars, crepe paper, glue and spooky motifs to create Halloween lanterns.

When they were completed, we popped battery operated tea lights inside and the effects were wonderful.

The benefits of this session were –

To boost sensory awareness

Build fine motor skills

Sharpen focus on planning

To reduce stress through expression

To encourage social connection

The accompanying chat and lovely refreshments on hand from the café made for a very enjoyable session.
