Residents from the Hurstwood View Care Home in Uckfield visited Brighton & Hove Albion's American Express Stadium.
The visit was organized through the Albion Memories group, a program managed by the Brighton & Hove Albion Foundation to support individuals living with mild to moderate dementia.
Key Highlights of the Visit:-
- Participants: Residents Ernie, David, and Barry attended the event alongside activity coordinators.
- Activities: The group participated in a morning of curling—timed to coincide with the 2026 Winter Olympics—and spent time chatting with other club members and visitors.
- Stadium Access: The residents were treated to a special visit out onto the pitch, providing a unique perspective of the ground for those who had been lifelong supporters.
- Community Impact: The Albion Memories program meets monthly at the American Express Stadium (last Friday of the month) or the Foundation's Community Hub (second Friday), offering stadium tours and museum visits to help fans reminisce about classic club moments.
