University Hospital, Coventry and Warwickshire has secured £65k from the King’s Fund to provide a Memory Lane and Forget Me Not Lounge for its patients with dementia.  The Trust needs the help of the people of Coventry and Warwickshire to advise on what they think will trigger memories in people with dementia and are holding an event at the Central Methodist Hall on Thursday, 5th August 2010 between 10.00am – 3.00pm.  All are welcome to attend and have input into this exciting piece of work.   The hospital is asking for attendees if possible, to also bring along an artefact that may trigger memories – they will then be photographed and used in a piece of art for the project.
