SERVICE DETAILS
Reminiscence has always been at the heart of Citadel Arts Group’s work.
Many of the plays we’ve produced have been inspired by Living Memories. Recently we have contributed to and devised our own projects in which we enabled older people to share their stories. Knowing these memories are valued, recorded, transcribed and preserved in the form of a booklet or a dramatic script enormously enhances the confidence of frail elderly people, some in the early stages of dementia, and gives them great pleasure.
Despite Covid Citadel delivered two projects collecting stories from older poeople. We launched two beautiful books of their memories in March 2022:
- 'Stories from Syria"is a touching collection of the Syrian refugees forced to flee their country during by the civil war.
- 'Stories from Croft an Righ and Beyond' is a collection of wonderfully varied memories of tenants from the Abbeyhill sheltered housing centre run by Viewpoint Housing.
Copies of both books are available for £5. These projects were funded by Foundation Scotland.
