A WORLD-leading dementia project which encourages patients to share their memories of Scottish football has been shortlisted for another prestigious award.
Football Memories Scotland, which is based at Hampden Park, has been shortlisted in the Scotland Dementia Awards.
The scheme delivers reminiscence workshops in football clubs, community halls, libraries, sheltered housing complexes and care homes.
It was launched in 2009 and is the oldest national football reminiscence programme in the world.
The scheme has been nominated in the,‘Most Innovative Partnership’ category.
In May, the project was recognised with the Volunteer Team of the Year Award at this year’s Museums + Heritage Awards.
Robert Craig, Chair of the Scottish Football Museum, said: “It is particularly pleasing to be recognised in the ‘Most Innovative Partnership’ category as the Football Memories Project has been a pioneering collaboration between the Scottish Football Museum and Alzheimer Scotland since it first started in 2009.
“Together we have developed a world-leading dementia intervention project recognised internationally as a model of good-practice.”
