Stockton HenPower

HenPower cultivates creativity in care settings at a time in life when most people are slowing down, and not stepping into wellies or making masterpieces.

HenPower Aims To:

• empower older people to build positive relationships through hen-keeping with improved wellbeing, reduced loneliness and reduced depression
• help care settings offer relationship centred care meeting older people's needs and embrace 'living with care' as opposed to 'caring for'
• create lasting change by supporting older people in care settings to get involved with schools, festivals and community events
  
• support resident and relative committees within care settings to be aspirational and provide meaningful activities which embrace creative ageing
  
• provide social care staff with excellent skill transfer and professional development opportunities
