A photo album can showcase a treasure trove of memories. But with Sheree Charalampous's textured photo books, the compilation process is just as important.

Ms Charalampous has been working with residents of Jewish Care's Vi and John Rubens (Redbridge) and Clore Manor (Hendon) homes to produce tactile albums as part of the charity's creative arts development programme.

For the residents, involvement in the collation allows them to reminisce about family, career, music and other interests.

And by stimulating memories through touch, those with dementia are helped to recall major life events.
