Visions of Music: ACC launch 2010 Art Competition

As a celebration of the rich musical heritage that exists in Camden, Age Concern Camden (ACC) will be featuring music as the theme for this year’s art competition. 

We are inviting all Camden residents over 50, and for whom music can be a pleasant way to spend a few hours, or a real passion, to enter our competition to find 13 pieces of art to feature in our 2011 Calendar. The artwork must have a music theme, whether that be the instruments on which the music is played, the venues in which it is heard, the dance it inspires, a favourite music artist, or even the way it makes you feel.

Evaluation Report on Psycho-Educational Therapy Group for Older Lesbian, Gay and BisexualWomen and Men

In 2009, the Opening Doors Older LGBT Project received a funding award from the Home Office to run two talking or counselling groups to focus on being LGB in a discriminatory world, and to provide support for those who were victims of hate crimes and had experienced discrimination, attack or abuse as a result of their sexual orientation. There was to be one group for women and one for men. The groups were very effective, one person said:  “This group has brought me out of the chaos I have been in for the last year. It has given me friendship”. The clients were asked in before and after surveys about stress, anxiety, depression.  All said they were less stressed. 90% were less despressed and 80% were less anxious.
