In an inspiring display of creativity and community spirit, Collisdene Care Centre in Strathaven, part of Canterbury Care, has created its own art gallery to display residents’ artwork within its Castle View House environment.

In a project that bridges the gap between art and care, the residents have turned their living spaces into galleries of personal expression.

Under the guidance and encouragement of the care team, residents have delved into an array of craft and artistic mediums. From the delicate strokes of paintbrushes to the comforting textures of knitted squares, each piece tells a story, a testament to the lives, dreams, and memories of its creators.

These masterpieces, lovingly framed and curated, are set to adorn the walls, transforming the environment into a vibrant celebration of creativity and resilience.

The initiative has been a collaborative effort from the start, with the care team playing a pivotal role in framing and enhancing the artwork, ensuring each piece is displayed in its best light. The dedication and enthusiasm of the team have been instrumental in bringing this project to fruition, fostering a sense of pride and accomplishment among all involved.

Activities coordinator Rosie Brennan shares her thoughts on the project: "The transformation within Castle View House has been nothing short of miraculous. Seeing our residents light up as they create, and then admire their work on the walls, reinforces the profound impact of art on wellbeing.

“This project is a vivid illustration of life within Collisdene Care Centre – one where every resident's contribution is valued and celebrated. It’s a testament to the spirit of our community, and we are thrilled to share this with our residents, families and visitors."
