We're pleased to announce that Reg Noyes has been appointed to run cARTrefu - our new arts project for care homes.

Says Reg:

"I am really excited to join Age Cymru as the new cARTrefu Project Coordinator.

"I'll be coordinating all the artist mentors, artist practitioners and care homes throughout Wales that are going to be working together as part of cARTrefu.

"I hope to establish cARTrefu as a lasting project at the charity continuing our engagement with care homes and artists across Wales."

Commenting on Reg's appointment, Emma Robinson, Age Cymru's Arts and Creativity Programme Manager says:

"We are delighted to welcome Reg to our cARTrefu project, bringing us a range of knowledge and experience to the team.
