UK's first immersive 'mobile museum' for dementia patients is heading to Bamber Bridge Leisure Centre
A ‘mobile museum’ to support people with dementia is coming to a leisure centre near you.
The UK’s first immersive mobile museum experience is coming to South Ribble next month.
House of Memories: On the Road is designed to support people living with dementia, as well as those who are vulnerable or socially isolated. Using familiar objects, images and memories, the experience helps spark conversation, connection and wellbeing.
Organised and curated by the Dementia Community Connection, it will be on the car park of Bamber Bridge Leisure Centre, Withy Grove Park, PR5 6YJ, from 11am to 4pm on Tuesday, May 19. Guests will be able to drop in throughout the day.
Dementia is the leading cause of death in England and Wales and affects over 15,000 people aged 65+ in Lancashire and South Cumbria alone.
