The care home group has been encouraging resident creatives to try graffiti and street art at Scotland's purpose-built street art venue in Glasgow's West End. The unique activity is part of Oakminster's personalised care plan that focuses on providing a stimulating and varied calendar of activities for residents including walking football, ballroom dancing, cooking classes, mystery day trips and many other activities that encourage residents to remain connected to the local community.
