ClassBento was founded in 2016 by Brit, John Tabari and Australian Iain Wang while they were working together in Australia. Engaging in arts and crafts has been proven to strengthen the brain’s resilience to depression and decrease stress levels. Tabari, from Newcastle, was inspired to start ClassBento after watching his grandmother struggle with dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease, and ClassBento is committed to helping support those with dementia by donating to Dementia UK with every class booking.
