Last month’s Memory Keepers session was all about holidays and trips. We kicked things off with a fun game of travel bingo, followed by staff and participants sharing souvenirs and favourite holiday photos. We also explored a reminiscence box from the Hertfordshire Libraries Reminiscence Collection — sparking plenty of nostalgia and helping everyone recall special moments from past adventures.

Our next session is on 11 August, 2.15–3.15pm, and this time we’re diving into kitchen memories and favourite recipes. No booking is required — just drop in for a relaxed afternoon of light‑hearted activities and shared memories. Feel free to bring a recipe card, a small kitchen item, or simply a favourite memory to share with the group.
