Age UK Isle of Wight has partnered with local churches to welcome those with dementia, their carers, family and friends to a Dementia Friendly Church Service this Easter.
These shorter, informal and welcoming services are specifically designed with the needs of people living with dementia in mind.
Each offers accessible service booklets, traditional hymns and prayers, short readings and address and a chance to socialise and meet others for tea, coffee and refreshments after each service.
You can join a Dementia Friendly Easter Service in:
• Newport – Monday 26th March from 14:30 to 15:00 at the Newport Congregational Church, Pyle Street
• Freshwater – Tuesday 27th March from 14:30 at Freshwater Methodist Church, Brookside Road
• Ryde – Thursday 5th April from 14:00 to 14:30 at St John the Baptist Church, High Park Road

Dementia Friendly Church Services are part of the BIG Lottery Funded Ageing Better Programme to create Age and Dementia Friendly Communities on the Isle of Wight.
