Between our main episodes, we’re opening up our Memory Box, asking simple, nostalgia-driven questions to our guests and ourselves. These questions prompt memory and can help start a dialogue with someone with dementia.
This time it’s the turn of our presenter Justine to pick her favourite book, piece of music and a memory she’ll treasure forever.
We’d love to hear your stories and advice for anyone with dementia – or if you have any questions for Justine and Prof Julie. Email us [email protected].
