Memory Boxes

Did you know that you can borrow Memory Boxes from your local library?

The Memory Boxes have been created by Making Sense CIO, with Dementia Aware Denbighshire funding, and they contain a variety of objects designed to awaken the senses, spark conversations and rekindle memories. They are ideal for care home or group settings and there are 5 different boxes to choose from.

Re-live a night at the cinema with our usherette tray in the 1950s Cinema box. Re-visit playgrounds and schoolrooms of the past with the 1950s School Days box, or how about a trip to the 1950s Seaside. The 1950s Shed will take you back to tinkering in the shed and DIY adventures, and 1950s Work Place will take you back to workplaces of yesteryear.

The boxes can be requested and delivered to your local library for collection, free of charge, where they can be borrowed just like a book.
