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.

"Many thanks again to you, the team, and fellow group members for thought provoking material and valuable support - the course has made a positive difference in my life".

Guest, Course for Carers

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

"I enjoy seeing people who have been isolated, now connected with others and through that feeling more hopeful than they were before. Noticing people's sense of self worth increase is wonderful".

Dave, Chaplain for Dementia

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.

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.
