Creative spirits shine at Humberston care home with wartime collage project

Residents at HC-One’s Clarendon Hall Care Home in Humberston, Lincolnshire, spent a meaningful and creative Monday afternoon bringing history to life through art, as they worked together to create a vibrant wartime collage.

The session, supported by care home colleagues, friends of the home, and Wayne Dube, a dedicated work experience student, encouraged residents to express their creativity while reflecting on memories of the past.

Using a mix of colours and painting techniques, residents carefully contributed to different elements of the collage, showcasing both their imagination and teamwork.

The resulting artwork is now proudly displayed in the home, serving as a lasting reminder of the residents’ creativity and the joy of shared experiences.
