What can churches and synagogues learn from faith communities already supporting people affected by dementia?

This new Dementia Impact report draws on interviews with people involved in faith-community dementia programmes and organisations supporting dementia-friendly communities.

The research explores what programmes are actually doing, how they got started, the challenges they have encountered and what other faith communities can learn from their experience.

Rather than suggesting there is one model every church or synagogue should follow, the report identifies practical lessons, different approaches and realistic starting points for communities considering how they could respond.

The report explores:

• Why you don't need to start big to make a meaningful difference

• How finding the right person can matter more than designing the perfect programme

• Different models of support for people living with dementia and family caregivers

• How churches and synagogues can support families beyond their own congregation

• Common barriers including volunteers, capacity, stigma and funding

• Why partnerships can make it easier to get started

• What existing programmes wish they had known at the beginning
