A group that meets three times a year across different venues.

It offers a moment to take a pause with other carers at a range of stages in their journeys with dementia. With the focus alternating between gently informative and soothing recollections, allowing termly group space to recuperate and recharge.

We invite speakers experienced in their field to present on a particular topic and offer discussion and sharing time to learn from each other.

Carers will be supported…

  • In small table-based groups
  • By our experienced volunteer team
  • Over a light lunch and refreshments

We are sometimes able to accommodate care for your loved one who is living with Dementia but other times this is not possible. We will always let you know well in advance so that you have time to arrange other care if needs be.

Please get in touch with us if you are interested in finding out more about this group.

I'm so grateful for the chaplaincy service you are able to offer, and for your kindness and interest in my aunt's life at such a vulnerable and difficult time. I can't find the right words to express my appreciation and gratitude, it makes such a positive difference.

I do enjoy all of it. I think the service at the start is good. I know some people find the little figures a bit patronising, but the discussions are good and it's good to meet up with friends and it's good to see all the displays. It does make you think. It’s the companionship and the friendliness. It’s just a pleasant few hours really. I think it’s nice to be using the church for a truly worshipping session.
