Cllr Aniela Bylinski-Gelder, Cabinet Member for Communities and Customers, said: “I’m so proud that we’re able to bring this innovative experience to the borough to support some of our most vulnerable.
“As a council, we’re dedicated to going above and beyond our statutory duties to support all of our residents to live well.
“The House of Memories: On the Road experience will be a meaningful opportunity for people living with dementia, their families and carers to connect , and I hope that people will come and join us on 19 May.”
Alongside the mobile museum experience, visitors were able to access information about practical dementia support tools, including Forget‑me‑not forms, hospital passports, hidden disability lanyards, and Message in a Bottle schemes.
The tools helped professionals and services better understand individual needs and provide safer, more personalised care.
