The new service is aimed at those working with, or caring for, older people. each box has a particular theme and is made up of a range of objects from the 1950s, 602 and 70s. The idea behind the boxes is that they can be used to stimulate memory and start conversation. They can be especially useful for talking about the past with a person with a dementia.
Memory boxes available: Leisure, Sewing or Knitting, Men in the 50s & 60s, Transport & holidays, Childhood, Women's fashion, Household, Photography, World War II, Cooking & baking, Shopping
The memory boxes are available to borrow free of charge. however this is a collection-only service. to book a memory box or for further information call 01874 624121 or email brecknock.museum@powys.gov.uk
