Collaborating with the Memory Café in St Albans

We are pleased to share that Moments That Remain has now begun working with the Memory Café in St Albans.

With their backing, we are able to bring to life a deeply personal and meaningful exploration of dementia, capturing the experiences of those living with the condition, their families, and their carers across Hertfordshire.

Moments That Remain

A woman sits by the window, light catching her face as she clutches a faded photograph, her fingers tracing the outlines of faces she no longer remembers. A son gently rests his hand on his father’s shoulder, sharing a moment of connection despite the silence between them. A caregiver kneels beside an elderly man, his smile uncertain yet full of warmth as she speaks to him.
