Part of Carer wellbeing

A digital memory box can hold photos, short videos, voice notes and written stories. Keep it private to close family, give each item a title and date, and agree who can add or remove things.

What to include

Old photos with the story behind them, a recipe in their handwriting, a voice note of a favourite saying, a video of a garden in bloom.

Privacy first

Choose somewhere private rather than a public social feed, and agree who can see it.

Describe for everyone

Add short descriptions so relatives with sight or hearing loss can enjoy them too.

Official guidance and further reading

Check these organisations for the latest rules and guidance for your location.

Frequently asked questions

Can we make a printed book later?
Many families like this. Keep titles and dates tidy now so it's easier later.
