Arts & Crafts

At Campsie View Care Home in Kirkintilloch, arts and crafts are woven into the daily rhythm of life, providing residents with an outlet for creativity and a source of real joy. We believe everyone should have the chance to express themselves, learn new skills, or simply enjoy a bit of creative fun. Guided by our expert activity team, our arts and crafts sessions help bring colour and vibrancy to every week.

We offer a variety of diverse and accessible projects through our sessions, from painting and drawing to seasonal projects and group displays. These sessions bring people together, spark conversation and offer moments of gentle accomplishment that mean a lot. Whether you are a lifelong hobbyist or simply enjoy trying something new, you will find a warm, supportive environment here at Campsie View.

Encouraging Creativity for Every Resident

Each arts and crafts session is tailored for accessibility, with staff on hand to offer as much or as little support as needed. Residents are involved in the planning of activities, helping to select projects and themes that reflect individual interests. From paintings and collages to making decorations for communal spaces, there is always an opportunity to have a go, regardless of dexterity or experience.

Many of our residents display their artwork in shared areas of the home, which not only adds a personal touch but also fosters a sense of pride and community. We encourage family involvement, and often invite relatives to join special creative sessions or enjoy open days featuring residents’ work. The aim is to create a positive, inclusive space where everyone can find inspiration and enjoy a sense of achievement.

Adding Meaning and Connection

Beyond the finished pieces, arts and crafts offer residents a chance to reconnect with old hobbies or discover new ones. Hands-on activities serve as both gentle cognitive stimulation and a route to improved mood and well-being. The programme includes both individual and group projects, supporting social interaction and helping new residents feel at home.

Celebrating occasions throughout the year is a big part of life at Campsie View. The arts and crafts programme often centres around seasonal events, with residents making decorations and gifts or working on collaborative displays. These shared projects nurture friendships, stimulate conversation and ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, is able to express themselves through our art projects.
