Laure Van Minden

Lifestyle Lead

Laure was born in Nice, France, where she studied philosophy, art and mathematics, graduating with a Baccalauréat. After qualifying as a French teacher, she moved to the UK in 1997. Her lifelong passion for creativity and the arts eventually inspired a career supporting older people through meaningful activities, and she joined Brooklands Care Home in 2024 as part of the Lifestyles team.

Laure is passionate about enriching residents’ lives through creative, engaging and person-centred activities that encourage self-expression, connection and enjoyment. Drawing on her artistic background, she loves helping residents discover new interests while continuing to enjoy lifelong passions.

Outside of work, Laure enjoys spending time with her family and continues to enjoy creating and exhibiting her artwork whenever she can.

“Art has always been a way of bringing people together, and I love using creativity to help residents express themselves, connect with others and enjoy every day.”
