Services for memory loss and dementia groups
We provide 'forget me not' collections containing items from social history from the 40s to the 70s. It has been found that handling the items and discussing them helps trigger memories and facilitates discussions.
Forget me not boxes are available to borrow with a yearly subscription of £35.50. They come in a variety of themes. Read the Forget me not box themes (PDF Document) to find out more.
