| This report captures the learnings from an innovative approach to supporting older people’s health and wellbeing using a programme of creative engagement. The initiative was developed by Age Friendly Ireland using co-design sessions with Older People’s Councils across the country. It was funded by the Creative Ireland Programme in the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport & Media. The proposal responded to findings from a TILDA study that identified positive health and well-being outcomes for older people relating to their creative engagement across a range of activities. The proposal sought to develop six bespoke regional initiatives that would be co-designed with members of Older People’s Councils and supported by a regional staff team. |
