People living with dementia and their carers are reliving the good old days at Llanelli Library with a series of local history reminiscence sessions.
The events have been organised jointly by the Library Service and the Alzheimer’s Society, and are taking place once a month from April to July at the Vaughan Street venue.
Lyn John, local historian and vice-chairman of Llanelli Community Heritage, recently gave a presentation of old photographs of the town, which was so well-received that he was asked to come back and do another slideshow for the group!
Executive board member for regeneration and leisure Cllr Meryl Gravell said: “We are delighted to be working with the Alzheimer’s Society to bring the past to life for local people who are living with dementia.
“Our Library Service’s collection includes so many things for them to enjoy and be inspired by.”
More sessions are planned over the coming months covering different themes such as food, music and everyday objects on Wednesdays June 8 and July 13 from 10.30am-12.30pm. For more information or to book a place at these free events, ring Cheryl Davies of the Alzheimer’s Society on 01269 597411 or 07834 729766 now.
