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.

Just a quick message to say thank you for the ‘Holiday at Home’ again this year. What a special and unique event and what a team & formula you have put together. I was sat next to two ladies 89 and 94 and both also fully enjoyed it. It is the Lord’s work and a real domain of the kingdom.

Holiday at Home Guest – 2024

"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

I see spiritual care as far more than just whether they go to a church or have a faith or not, it is linked to their whole being.

Why do you come as a volunteer to help with events like Vintage Adventure in church? …Well, as I’m getting older, I realise that for an awful lot of the elderly, they’ve not got very long left to get to know the lord So I think this generation is the most important ministry. If you’re in with students and you mess it up, they’ve got a whole lifetime when they can met somebody who will correct it. We haven’t got that luxury so this is a very important ministry and I just want to do my little bit.

You do see your friends and neighbours, all being brought in. It’s a relaxed atmosphere . It means you do feel included in the church family. We’re a very close family and have friends of friends of friends, but the young people, they don’t have anybody . It continued church as I haven’t been so well lately after a fall. My balance is poor and my voice isn’t what it used to be, and I love to sing. I always knew when it was time to get up as I could hear Grandma in the kitchen, she sang.
