Money is something that connects all of us. Everyone uses it, and almost everyone has memories involving it. Our Memory Box resources have been designed for older people and people with dementia.
Prompt reminiscence and conversation with a Memory Box filled with nostalgic items. Choose from either a general box or a Bloke’s Box tailored towards men’s interests, both of which can be borrowed for a period of up to one month. Memory Boxes are free to borrow for Care Homes and individuals – the only charge to you is the return postage.
Please contact us at info@museumonthemound.com for more information.

Spend an hour with our Memory Bank activities and get thinking about money expressions, objects of interest, and how we used to earn- and spend – our cash.
