One of our volunteers found a bag of bools (posh name marbles) tucked away which led to much discussion of childhood games. Did you play bools or what did you call them? What games did you play? Do you still have some tucked away?

Some members from our club at David Livingstone Memorial Church in Blantyre enjoyed an evening of games and activities last week. Family members joined in too. Never underestimate the power of play when engaging with the older generation. #DementiaActionWeek

Our Kirkcaldy club members were delighted to again be asked to be part of "Moving Up Day" for local P7 schools who would be joining secondary school after the summer break. A great opportunity for more inter-generational opportunities.
