This book written by our founder, Tina English, provides a biblical foundation for ministry amongst older people and covers topics such as dementia, supporting informal carers, care homes, ideas for churches that do not have an accessible building and ideas for those who do.

Here's what others are saying about it:

"Whether you have been in ministry with seniors for years or whether you have just started, this book is like a bible to help you on your way. It is one of the most readable books I have come across in a long time, so much so I have bought two more to give to people!!"  
A review on Amazon

"Having reviewed many books about dementia over the years, I learned so much and was greatly moved by this single chapter."
Rev. Dr. Albert Jewell, Secretary of Christians on Ageing Dementia Network, former pastoral director and senior chaplain of MHA Care Group 
"We live in a society, and sometimes a church, that doesn't always appreciate the gifts that older people bring. Tina English brings a great deal of wisdom, huge experience, practical advice and ideas together in this invaluable guide to a vital and growing ministry in local churches. If you want to know where to start with ministry among older people, this is a great place to begin."
The Rt Revd Dr Graham Tomlin, Bishop of Kensington
