We are building a library of Anna Chaplaincy Easy Guides – two pages of distilled wisdom on a whole host of topics. The two latest that are free to download from our website are:
Running Messy Vintage in community settings – Katie Norman
Setting up a dementia café – Julia Burton-Jones
Each guide offers inspiration and practical help. The new additions join a growing range of such guides. Existing titles include: Running a 'Holiday at Home' and 'Linking care homes with local schools.'
Our Anna Chaplaincy network is comprised of so many people with specialist knowledge to share when it comes to many different aspects of ministry among older people. Why not tap into their expertise when you are considering a new way of offering ministry among this age group? All the guides are simple introductions to topics relevant to older people. This way there is no need to 'reinvent the wheel'!
We hope to add fresh titles every few months – adding up to about twelve each year – so in time they will offer a rich compendium of tried and tested ways of doing things which, we hope, will help to raise standards of good practice in this field.
If you have suggestions for topics you might like covered in future do let us know and – if they are not already commissioned – we'll perhaps add them to the list. annachaplaincy@brf.org.uk
