Reminiscence Sessions

How can Reminiscing help older people and those with dementia?

For the elderly, reminiscing is a way to affirm who they are, what they’ve accomplished in their lives, and a chance to relive happy times. Talking about the past can encourage conversation and boost self-esteem. Sessions with a museum facilitator for an hour session which cost £ 42.00.

Alternatively, you can run your own session with one of our loan boxes. A two-week loan period, a cost of only £15 plus VAT.  We are happy to drop off and collect the boxes from your facility if in the Surrey Heath area.
