Items wanted for memory boxes to help dementia patients
11 April, 2011
The voluntary services team and ward G6 are working together to provide activities that will help evoke memories in dementia patients.
Volunteers are putting together 'memory boxes' filled with old memorabilia such as old tins, spinning tops, old toys etc to encourage recollections of memories from the past.
For people with Alzheimer’s disease encouraging the act of reminiscence in this way can help calm anxiety, trigger warm emotions and improve quality of life.
Voluntary services require more items that will be suitable for memory boxes such as small toys, pieces of jewellery, tickets and programmes to the cinema or football matches, postcards, shaving brushes, old coins, ballet shoes, sewing patterns, fabric, or work tools and old photo’s.
Please bring any items you think maybe suitable to the main hospital reception and ask for voluntary services.
