Arts & Crafts

At St Margarets Care Home in Edinburgh, we believe creativity is a powerful way to uplift spirits and bring people together. Our arts and crafts sessions offer residents an enjoyable, engaging outlet to express themselves and try new skills in a relaxed and supportive environment. Whether painting, knitting, or making personalised keepsakes, these activities foster a sense of achievement and provide meaningful moments throughout the week.

Our dedicated Activities Coordinator ensures that arts and crafts sessions are inclusive and suited to all abilities and interests. No matter the skill level, every participant is encouraged to have fun, make friends, and feel connected while exploring their creativity.

How Creativity Leads to Connection and Well-Being

Arts and crafts at St Margarets are more than just a great pastime, they offer emotional and physical benefits by helping residents to focus and stimulate their minds. Many residents find that creating something hands-on brings back positive memories and builds confidence, while also offering gentle exercise for hand coordination.

Our programme is designed to be flexible, with options for group projects and one-to-one support. We aim to create a welcoming atmosphere where everyone can find joy in making and sharing their work.

Learn a New Skill

Personalising arts and crafts sessions helps residents maintain their individuality and express their stories. From seasonal decorations to custom gifts for family and friends, each piece reflects something meaningful. We also proudly display residents’ creations around the home, adding warmth and a sense of pride to the environment.

Families and visitors are often invited to join in craft activities, making these moments shared experiences that deepen bonds and brighten days. At St Margarets, arts and crafts play an important role in creating community, connection, and creativity.
