Aberdeen City<br />
Football Memories<br />
Programme<br />
The Aberdeen City Football Memories<br />
group uses photos, memorabilia and<br />
conversation to stimulate memories and<br />
communication. Suitable for anyone<br />
with a diagnosis of dementia who is<br />
passionate about football, whether their<br />
memories have been on the pitch or<br />
from the terraces. While discussing<br />
football memories they also talk about<br />
wider memories of all aspects of life in<br />
Aberdeen.<br />
The Aberdeen City Football Memories<br />
Programme is looking to attract new<br />
members to their sessions. What could<br />
be better than 90 minutes (including a<br />
break) of blethering about football and<br />
any other topics which may come up,<br />
sharing our stories and memories?<br />
They refer to all sorts of memorabilia,<br />
such as books, programmes, photos,<br />
newspapers, a memory box and much<br />
more. Members are encouraged to bring<br />
along their own personal treasures to<br />
"show and tell" to the groups.<br />
These sessions are part of a national<br />
programme which is recognised as<br />
being world-leading and are delivered<br />
by trained and accredited volunteers<br />
associated with Alzheimer Scotland,<br />
Football Memories Scotland, AFC<br />
Community Trust, AFC Heritage Trust<br />
and Cove Rangers FC.
