Oswestry's dementia charity, Connect For Life, is currently showcasing a unique art display at the town library throughout July.
These works of art, various in mediums, are all crafted by the charity's service users themselves.
The pieces reflect the life-enhancing benefits of creativity, from engaging attention, encouraging heartfelt support among participants, boosting confidence, to promoting new skills.
- Sports days and harvest memories from Oswestry and borders from the 1980s
- 'Stunning' barn conversion near Oswestry up for sale
- People escape 4x4 car 'fully destroyed' by fire near Oswestry
These service users come together in a safe space for activities that include weaving, painting, decorating, reminiscing and so much more.
Even sharing a meal together can bring significant joy and comfort to those living with dementia.
Meanwhile, carers can have a valuable respite, knowing their loved ones are experiencing positivity, stimulation, fresh opportunities, and communal laughter and fun.
