During the financial year, Vae Care CIC continued its mission to improve the wellbeing of people living in care homes and hospices through immersive virtual reality experiences. Our activities focused on reducing social isolation, encouraging reminiscence, promoting relaxation, and creating meaningful social interaction by enabling people to virtually visit places they may no longer be able to experience in person. During the year, we delivered our service across two care homes and two hospice sites as part of a National Lottery Community Fund project. In partnership with Keele University, this project is evaluating the impact of our virtual reality experiences on participants' mental wellbeing, measuring outcomes including mood, anxiety, loneliness and social connectedness. The research will help strengthen the evidence base for the use of immersive technology within adult social care and end-of-life care. Participants have been able to revisit places that hold personal significance, explore new destinations, and share their experiences with others, encouraging conversation, reminiscence and positive social engagement. Feedback from both participants and care staff has consistently highlighted the positive emotional impact of the sessions. Alongside service delivery, we continued to expand our library of professionally produced virtual experiences, further develop our technology platform, and enhance our training and support resources for care providers. These activities have strengthened Vae Care's ability to deliver safe, high-quality experiences and positioned the organisation to benefit more people and communities in the years ahead.
We have had feedback from service users about certain videos in relation to their edits. We have since made changes to the final edits of those vr experiences to make them more comfortable and enjoyable to watch. We have also improved our delivery processes due to staff feedback.
