Independent Arts runs wellbeing services targeted at older people living in the Isle of Wight; on the Island 26.1% of the population are aged over 65 and rates of dementia are twice the national average. It has a base in Newport, but reaches isolated older people by operating outreach activities in community venues, hospitals and care-homes. Its core services include SingAbout (to aid dementia) and Singing for Breathing (to aid respiratory problems); these fun and engaging groups use NHS recognised techniques to increase health and wellbeing. Every month its range of activities reach 1,600 older people. The grant will cover the salary of the Chief Executive who plays a vital role in doing the organisation's fundraising and planning.
