These six booklets, which focus on different aspects of Windsor Castle, were produced for people living with dementia in partnership with Berkshire-based charity YPWD – Younger People With Dementia.
During the lockdown period in 2020, a series of six Zoom sessions, brought Windsor Castle into the homes of those living with Young Onset Dementia. The materials and images used for those sessions have been edited and reviewed by people living with dementia and their partners, to create these easy-read booklets.
