At The Dementia Support group we have a saying,
 
"When the present is frustrating,
the future frightening,
the past may be consoling"
 
 

To provide reminiscence opportunities we have compiled 'living history chests' to provide a wide appeal as possible.
The chests provide a holistic experience providing tastes, sights, smells and things to do. The chests can be borrowed by anyone interested and will be of particular interest to day centres and residential homes.
Please phone for loan details.
 
At the present we have:
 
Dance and dance bands in Bolton from 1930- 1950
The history of Bolton Wanderers
The World of Dolls
Home life in the 40's
History of the open road
A traditonal toy box
The Home Guard.
 
Coming soon:
Boxing, Royalty and The World of Steam

Each week we have support groups for carers which run alongside an activity session for the person being cared for. These take place on Monday at the Resource Centre, Beaumont Road Horwich and on Tuesday at Carers Resource, Thicketford Centre, Bolton both from 10.30 - 12 noon. Every week we also hold an activity afternoon where we have indoor bowling, a traditional wooden skittle alley, table top games, quizzes, raffles, singing, exercises, crafts and FUN! This takes place at Horwich on Monday and Trinity Methodist Church Hall on Wednesday. Please contact us for further details
