House of Memories is a dementia awareness programme developed by National Museums Liverpool which offers training, access to resources, and museum-based activities to enable carers to provide person-centred care for people living with dementia. Carol Rogers from the Museum gave an excellent insight into the development of the programme and its expansion both in the UK and overseas.
SI Heswall members and guests enjoyed a special celebration for the 70th anniversary of the Club’s Charter. A highlight was a toilet – shaped cake as part of the Club’s support throughout the year for the Toilet Twinning project. https://www.toilettwinning.org
Presidents Glenys and Sue are seen here with Clare who has recently transferred to SI Heswall. Welcome Clare!
The evening of the change of Insignia was a double celebration. Members marked the 70th anniversary of the Club’s Charter and enjoyed a cake baked for the occasion. President Maureen handed over to Presidents Sue and Glenys. The Club’s Vice-Presidents – Pam and Ann – are also seen here with their chain of office.
The May Dinner/speaker meeting coincided with Mental Health Awareness Week and members wore green to mark this. The first speaker of the year spoke about Toilet Twinning (toilettwinning.org) – one of the Presidents’ charities for the year.
For the club’s 70th year Presidents Sue and Glenys have chosen the theme of ‘Working in Partnership’. Their charities for the year are Toilet Twinning (toilettwinning.org), Alzheimer’s Society (alzheimers.org.uk) and Wirral Young Carers. Sue is seen here at the Change of Insignia.
SI Heswall had a busy week running a pop up charity shop in Liscard. Members are shown here setting up for business. Many thanks to all our customers who have helped raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Society (alzheimers.org.uk) and Wirral Young Carers.
In recent weeks President Maureen has inducted two new members to SI Heswall. With the members she extended a warm welcome to Jenny and Pauline.
