Miss Chiara van den Hoven, The Claremont Project 

Strengths I bring: Creative, person-centred and collaborative. 

What I would like the network to achieve: We would love to connect with other organisations to share and strengthen our collective practices when working with those affected by dementia. We’re particularly interested in the development of accessible and community-driven risk reduction strategies. 

I have a background in fine art and a professional history of working in creative health organisations in Scotland. At Claremont, I am developing a dementia risk reduction pilot programme with our community of users.

The Claremont Project is a community arts and wellbeing centre for people aged over fifty-five based in Angel, Islington. We offer a weekly programme of classes and participatory projects aimed at being creative and healthy in later life. www.claremont-project.org
