Sporting memories
The celebrating memories event is held every month in Largs Masonic Lodge. This informal group has developed into an event for people with dementia and their carer.

The Largs Lads club is on Thursday July 27 at 2pm to 4pm.

The group started as “Largs Lads Club” in February 2015 for men in the community who were affected by dementia and the discussion was about Sporting Memories. This informal group has developed into an event for people with dementia and their carer. Discussions are formed around gentle image based fun quizzes on a range of subjects including sport, movies, television and music.

The gentle quizzes help prompt memories and often a discussion ensues about the featured subject. People enjoy talking about the great moments in sport and entertainment and the group is proving popular with those attending. The feel good factor of attending a group can sometimes stay with the person for the rest of the day. They might not remember the conversations but they will know something good has happened.
