Find out how a digital solution to capturing and storing memories is being rolled out to regional adoption agencies, with Christian Brock, founder of Virtual Memory Box.

Virtual Memory Box is already the leading digital life story tool for local authorities across the UK, supporting tens of thousands of children and young people.

Now, a new version of Virtual Memory Box is being made available to regional adoption agencies, after being successfully piloted with Adopt North East.

The tool helps adopted children, birth families, and adoptive families safely stay connected and maintain meaningful communication. It’s a digital platform that gives young people a safe, personal space to capture and organise their memories, as well as manage letter box contact between adopted and birth families.

In this live session, Virtual Memory Box Co-founder Christian Brock will share his team’s journey and demonstrate how Virtual Memory Box is transforming the way memories are preserved pre and post adoption.
