Silver Solace is an innovative project designed to address mental health issues among the elderly. Spearheaded by dedicated personnel, Dr. Miriam Hamilton and Psychologist Paul Windsor, the project utilizes creative arts therapy as a way of engaging seniors, encouraging self-expression and thereby lifting spirits. Silver Solace provides seniors the opportunity to participate in various creative pursuits such as painting, writing, music and handcrafts in a friendly and supportive environment.

Notably, the purpose is not to create artists, but rather provide solace and reduce feelings of loneliness, frustration, and depression commonly observed in seniors. Professional psychologists are present at all sessions, subtly providing care whilst allowing seniors to enjoy the creative process. The response from the seniors participating has been positive and encouraging, with many expressing an improvement in their mental health.
