Hi I'm Katie and I am transgender , (not full time ) .
I don't have dementia but I want to help people who do , I am a huge football fan and I recently came across a Scottish website which was called football memories and encouraged people to share their football stories and unlock memories about their past and In turn hopefully unlock other things around that time , one women commented in that it was like having her husband back for a few hours .
My project is to publish quiz, trivia football books aimed at people with dementia and hopefully they will remember dates , matches , players etc etc which have been locked and in turn this will trigger of other memories .
I hope that these books can be used by family , friends and carers .
I aim to keep them simple and eventually I hope that clubs will have individual booklets or leaflets geared towards their club and its history .
I am emailing all 92 football clubs and non league clubs with my proposal and I have had some interest already .
Thanks Katie
