Reminiscence Materials:

LEISURE

We have put these materials together to trigger your

memories of the Caribbean and life in the UK since 1948.

The pictures can be used, together with our Windrush films,

stories and online displays, to start conversations

with friends, family and carers.

We have also included some questions to start your discussions.

Happy reminiscing!
