Salford Museum and Art Gallery is at the forefront of museum-based reminiscence work with older people and the care sector.
Memories Matter is the largest regional reminiscence resource loan service, and offers real museum collection objects and photographs for loan to organisations working with older people. These often include day centres, care homes, nursing homes, sheltered housing schemes, charities and independent and community groups. We aim to help these organisations provide stimulating and enjoyable reminiscence sessions for their residents and clients.
Reminiscence resources available for loan are:
Picture packs of objects
Themed boxes of objects
