Today, November 27th, National Museums Liverpool launch the #AMemoryShared campaign, in which the Cinema Museum was proud to participate. This project is designed to raise awareness of sharing memories with our friends, families and those we care for.

House of Memories began as a dementia awareness training programme in 2012, and has to date trained more than 9,000 care workers, across the country.

The programme now includes the My House of Memories App, a free digital memory resource for iPads and other tablets. It is the first of its kind in the world and has been co-created by people living with dementia and their carers.

Collaboration has been at the heart of the App’s development, which has included representatives from the health and social care sector and museum partners in the South East.

Christmas is an ideal time to sit down with someone you love or care for to have a chat, create a special moment and share some memories to help enrich the lives of people living with dementia.

Please share their stories, memories and special moments on social media through @house_memories using the hashtag #AMemoryShared
