Welcome
to the website of Hearts&Minds,
the registered Scottish
charity which aims to
promote the quality of
life of people in hospital
and hospice care through
the performing arts.
We engage professional performing artists to deliver our participative arts-in-health
programmes:
The Clowndoctors programme
for children in hospital and hospice
care;
The Elderflowers programme for elderly people with dementia
in hospital
care.
Hearts&Minds benefits
over 12,500 children, the elderly
and their families across Scotland annually. We are the only charity providing a Clowndoctors service to children in Scotland, and Elderflowers is unique in the UK.
Hearts&Minds was established
in 1997 and is based in Edinburgh, Scotland.
