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.

"You certainly were to me one of life's earth angels. I will never forget the calm that you brought to that moment in my life."

Evelyn, Chaplaincy

"We thoroughly enjoyed our day in New Zealand! It was really well planned, food very nice - so HUGE thanks to all involved in any part of the day - we thought it was great and huge fun learning the Haka! The young lady teaching us was really good and had us all laughing about it!. The whole day is something to remember with much pleasure."

Guest, Holiday at Home

"Well, it is very uplifting for me as a carer, because I must say, I have felt very isolated. I didn't expect much to be honest, but talking to other carers and others living with Dementia, it uplifts us all. It really does. We have a lovely little community of friends. So Thank you."

Carer, Memory Cafe

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.
