Resources relating to Dignity
- The society for all artists (SAA) informs, encourages and inspires all who want to paint, whatever their ability. They feel that Dignity can be enhanced through creative activities and have trained activity organisers and volunteers in over 420 care homes in the past year. They use a simple system, 'Guidelines to Art' designed so that a non-painter can lead non-painters to a successful outcome.
