Unpack the Past: Loan Boxes for Curious Minds
Discover Downham Community Loan Boxes
Step into the past with our Community Loan Boxes! Perfect for local schools, home educators, care homes, and community groups, each box is packed with original and reproduction artefacts and documents designed to spark curiosity, learning, and conversation.
With most items safe to handle, learners of all ages can explore history first-hand. Each box also includes background information and fun activity ideas, making it easy to bring the stories to life.
While ideal for classrooms, our Loan Boxes are also a fantastic way to engage older adults, sparking reminiscence and a sharing of memories. They can be adapted to suit any special requests – please get in touch to discuss your needs.
Loan Boxes are available for collection from Discover Downham by arrangement. An administration fee of £20 applies for the first week, and £10 for each additional week, with a maximum loan period of three weeks.
Discover, explore, and bring history to life with your very own Loan Box!
