Memory Boxes

The community team will be delivering their first Memory Box workshop to the clients of Tŷ Bryngwyn Hospice, Llanelli.  The clients recently asked the Community team to deliver presentation of Llanelly House but expressed an interest in becoming more involved in the project.

The community team, along with the Occupational Therapy team of Tŷ Bryngwyn Hospice, are developing a suitably themed Memory box session in the New Year. Estelle Evans, Community Engagement Officer, undertook a trial of the Memory Box with a group of Further Education Tutors recently and found that concentrating the Memory box to a theme received great positive feedback. 'The session was strictly timed to just 30 minutes, but the information that was generated in this small amount of time was incredible,' said Estelle.  'The topic was 'Cleaning & Washing', but I was totally taken by surprise by the emotion that this topic generated with some of the Tutors – this was unexpected and has made me more aware of how daily activities can affect the emotions of people.' Estelle continued.
