EVENT
"LEARNING ABOUT DEMENTIA" Saturday 19th May 2018 at West Orchard URC 9.30am – 4.00pm. A revised booking form can be accessed below. Those that previously booked in for 3rd March please notify us if you are unable to attend. This training is being led by Charlotte Overton-Hart, who works with Livability’s Community Engagement Team as Dementia Associate whose role reflects on the way people engage and walk alongside those people who have a diagnosis of dementia. The day is open to Ministers, Elders and Church Members. Please note that there are limited places for this event. We are asking for a contribution towards the cost of the day of £10 per person. It is expected that this would be paid by the church rather than by those attending. Churches are also invited to contribute further if they wish to do so. Those attending should bring their own lunch but tea and coffee will be provided. Please book on the form attached as soon as possible and by 4th May at the latest and return it to Mrs Rachel Vernon, Synod Office, Digbeth-in-the-Field URC, Moat Lane, Yardley, Birmingham, B26 1TW.
