Memori Works: Restoring Memories, One Photo at a Time
At Memori Works, we believe memory is more than a mental function. It is identity. It is connection. It is a person's sense of self. For individuals living with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or memory-related cognitive decline, the gradual loss of access to that identity can be deeply distressing. Yet even in the absence of words or context, memory can still be touched—through feeling, through familiarity, and through visual clarity.
We offer a free photo restoration and enhancement service specifically designed for people with memory loss. Our aim is to support reminiscence-based care by transforming old, faded, or blurry photographs into vivid, high-quality prints—using advanced AI tools combined with human-led restoration.
This is not a clinical intervention. It is a therapeutic support tool.
We work directly with care homes, memory clinics, charities, and family networks to create restored photographs that provide emotional connection, stimulate memory, and strengthen identity.
Why Physical Photos Matter
We do not offer digital-only delivery. For many individuals with dementia, screens can be unfamiliar and distracting. A printed photograph, by contrast, is a tangible memory—recognisable, physical, and emotionally grounded.
The feel of the paper, the weight in the hand, the texture of a photo—all of these details carry meaning. Some individuals may even believe they are holding an old photo from home. That is not a misunderstanding—that is the service working. Because in that moment, the photo is not data. It is belonging.

Service options
We offer two distinct restoration styles:
1. Enhanced Restoration
Ideal for reminiscence therapy and emotional resonance. This approach uses advanced AI interpretation to improve clarity and detail, offering a lifelike visual experience that can stimulate memory and emotional response.
2. Archival Restoration
Designed for historical accuracy and legacy preservation. This version focuses on gentle enhancement while preserving the original features and unique characteristics of the original image.
Let us know what matters most—clarity or authenticity—and we’ll tailor our approach to fit.
Sustainability and waitlist
We currently restore and mail up to 200 printed photos per month, delivered in secure batches to participating institutions.
To help keep this service sustainable:
Family members or carers may choose to cover the cost price to skip the waiting list (typically under £1 per photo)
Optional donations are welcomed and help us reach more people
There is no profit—only possibility
