Alzheimer's Research UK predict that 1 in every 2 people in the UK will be affected by dementia, either as a carer or by having the condition. So it's so important that churches can offer support.

People with dementia experience a range of difficulties including problems with memory, reasoning and language, and changes in their behaviour and emotions. Every individual will be affected differently, and these difficulties will get worse over time.

It is important to remember that people with dementia still have spiritual needs and still need to know that they are accepted and loved. A relationship with God can continue even when rational thought and verbal communication are difficult. Join us online to learn more.
