With an estimated 425,000–446,500 Australians currently living with dementia and numbers projected to exceed one million by 2065, meaningful opportunities for connection and support are more important than ever.

Dementia memory bags are available at all Joondalup Libraries and offer a simple, thoughtful way to help people living with dementia and their families reconnect through shared memories and conversation.

Each bag is carefully curated with items themed around cooking, beach, garden, music or sport, encouraging reminiscence and connection around familiar experiences.

These memory bags are available for loan with a Joondalup Libraries membership.
