Between 2017-2020, Wiltshire Music Centre is the lead partner on Celebrating Age Wiltshire (CAW), a county-wide project, delivering arts and heritage events in community settings for frail, vulnerable older people unable to access concert halls or theatres. This project is made possible by a £99,931 Arts Council England grant and support from the Health & Wellbeing funds from 6 of Wiltshire Council’s Area Boards.
CAW offers arts, culture and heritage activities for older people in their own community settings in 6 local areas across Wiltshire (Corsham, Royal Wootton Bassett, Calne, Trowbridge, Amesbury and Salisbury). Rebecca Seymour, our Project Coordinator for CAW is working alongside arts and community organisations to deliver accessible high quality arts events for those who may feel vulnerable or isolated from their community.
