Dress to Remember is a year-long creative dementia project delivered by Tuareg Productions in collaboration with Brent Libraries, Culture and Heritage. The project supports people living with dementia, their carers, and families through storytelling, photography, heritage, and cultural activities that celebrate memory, identity, and belonging.Building on the success of the Dress to Remember: Dementia-Friendly Project developed in 2023 with Elders Voice and Bhakti Dharma Centre, the programme continues to promote dementia awareness, social inclusion, and community engagement across Brent.Since September 2025, participants have been engaging in an ongoing programme of 17 creative sessions, including guided walks, museum visits, storytelling, photography, and outdoor activities in local green spaces. Through these shared experiences, participants are reconnecting with personal memories, cultural traditions, and their local community, while reducing social isolation and improving wellbeing.The project also fosters intergenerational learning through the involvement of students from John Ruskin College and NTU London. As part of their studies, the NTU London team has been documenting the project through film, helping to capture and preserve participants’ stories and experiences.The programme was launched with a free public forum at Brent Civic Centre on 26 February, bringing together residents, carers, community organisations, and professionals to explore how we can build more dementia-friendly communities and support people living with dementia to remain active, connected, and visible within community life.

Dress to Remember is a dementia reminiscence project that uses family photographs to stimulate memory and encourage storytelling. Inspired by Style in My DNA by author, fashion designer, and producer Lorna Holder, the project supports people living with dementia in revisiting important life moments through images of dress, fashion, and family occasions. Participants, family members, and carers are invited to share photographs from family archives, including weddings, birthdays, christenings, graduations, and other significant events. The project engages Brent’s diverse communities in exploring personal and cultural heritage from the 1940s to the present day. Delivered by Tuareg Productions Ltd in collaboration with Brent Libraries, Better World Books, Elders Voice, and Bhakti Dharma Centre, the project highlights how family photographs can unlock memories, strengthen connections, and improve wellbeing for people living with dementia.
