Royal Mint Museum - Free Reminiscence Box Loan

The Royal Mint Museum is a registered charity and an accredited museum based on the Royal Mint site in Llantrisant. In 2021 we began offering free-to-loan reminiscence boxes to care homes across the UK. The Royal Mint Museum Reminiscence Box project is an opportunity for those living in residential care to interact with a part of our Museum collection and share memories from their lives. The Reminiscence Box is an activity resource, containing genuine and replica items, audio-description and activity guidance for care workers. The whole Museum team is passionate about contributing to the positive wellbeing of those living and working in residential care across the nation, and our boxes are available for all care homes in the UK to loan. Care home staff can request to borrow a box and run reminiscence sessions with their residents. We are thrilled to offer a Welsh language audio box for the first time! We provide a transcript in English and Welsh for the reminiscence sessions.
