House of Memories is an incredible programme set up to support those living with dementia right here in Liverpool.

It’s ran by teams at National Museums Liverpool and offers training, access to resources, and museum-based activities to enable carers to provide person-centred care for people living with dementia.

Within the award-winning initiative, things like Memory Strolls, Memory Suitcases and On The Road museums offer memorable experiences, using the power of objects, memories and storytelling to help people living with dementia, along with their carers, families and support workers.

We met some of the people involved in the revolutionary programme and visited the Museum of Liverpool where some of the activities were taking place.

This week is Dementia Action Week, so the perfect time to hear more about this extraordinary Liverpool project.
