The Attic Project was a free service that helped older people to remove, recycle or re-organise possessions. Sorting through things can bring back a lot of memories, the Attic Project offered opportunities to talk about the stories behind possessions. These were recorded, so they could be passed onto friends and family.
The service was available to anyone aged 50+ living in Cardiff, Newport and The Vale of Glamorgan.
