The Football Memories Project is a partnership between Alzheimer Scotland and the Scottish Football Museum. The project was originated and launched three years ago and trains volunteers to spend time with people with dementia who have an interest in football to talk about teams and matches from the past whilst working with images and tangible memorabilia to stimulate memories. The Football Memories Project at the Club is part of the Dundee United Community Trust Programme.
Centred around Dundee United, Dundee, Scottish football and international matches, the meetings also feature other sporting memories, world events and movie memories together with a complimentary refreshment on arrival and sometimes a Bovril or half-time pie! The get-togethers are there to be enjoyed by anyone living with dementia or experiencing difficulties with their memory, including their families and friends. All are welcome; people who cannot attend independently should come with a companion who can provide support and transport.
