Every object tells a story and every story deserves to be heard.
Residents enjoyed exploring a wonderful memory box on loan from the The Royal Mint, filled with pre- and post-decimal coins, foreign currency, medals, and fascinating photographs. Each item sparked memories, conversations, and stories from years gone by.
There was reminiscing, shared experiences, and plenty of discussion as residents compared memories of old coins, travelling abroad, national service, and the changing world around them.
Reminiscence sessions like these do so much more than look back at the past. They support memory, strengthen identity, encourage conversation, and create meaningful connections as residents share their life experiences with one another.
Sometimes the smallest objects… unlock the biggest memories.
