Hi Andrew and Georgia, I'm very keen on the whole idea of reminiscence for
the elderly. I'm currently working on an outreach project for Falkirk Museums
in Scotland, and one of the services I'm trying to establish is a reminiscence
loans scheme. I would be very interested to hear of any advice you have in a)
contacts for reminisence trainers, b) any objects/resources that you have
found which are particularly effective.
In my own evaluations I have found a need for activities particularly for day
care centres so I'm also looking into developing some activities that link into
the museum collections. Any ideas/practical suggestions very welcome.
Many thanks
