Unfortunately due to the trainers being unwell we have had to cancel this session on the 18th February 2026

One day creative training for Activity and Lifestyle Co-ordinators

Care staff will learn the SPARK approach which gives care home residents the opportunity to take part in playful, multi-sensory creative activities which create moments of connection. Activities are designed to respect the age and individuality of everyone involved.

The workshop will be run by the Spark artists and attendees will receive a copy of the latest Spark activity book and a pack of art materials. 

Whether you are new to Sparks or have attended before, don’t hesitate to sign up for new themes, fresh creative ideas, and new ways of thinking about how we work creatively with people. 

We know that SPARK:

• Inspires different ways of thinking about activities in care homes
• Increases meaningful connection between care home residents and staff
• Gives care staff increased confidence and motivation to use arts and creativity
• Allows residents and staff to find out new things about each other
• Improves resident and staff wellbeing
