Dementia Friendly
St Nick’s is proud to be a dementia-friendly church.
We want everyone to feel welcome here, including people living with dementia and the family, friends and carers who support them. Whether you come along to a Sunday service, our dementia-friendly craft afternoon or one of our community events, we’ll do our best to make sure you feel comfortable, included and at home.
What This Means at St Nick’s
Being dementia-friendly means taking the time to understand how dementia can affect people, and making small changes that make a big difference – a friendly face at the door, a little patience, help finding your way, and a calm, unhurried welcome.
If you or someone you care for is living with dementia and there’s anything that would help you take part, please let us know. We’ll always be glad to help.
Our Dementia-Friendly Craft Afternoon
Once a month we hold a dementia-friendly Craft and Coffee Afternoon – a relaxed, welcoming time for people living with dementia to come along with their carers, family and friends. We serve tea, coffee, cakes and biscuits, and offer some simple crafts to take part in – or you can just sit and enjoy the company.
It’s free, and everyone is very welcome. Our next afternoon is on Wednesday 21st October, 1–3pm. Keep an eye on What’s On for future dates.
