Support group seeking new members
By Steve Mather
A SUPPORT group for carers of people suffering from dementia is seeking new members to come forward and join.
Shipmates Carers Group has been running for more than two years and it offers help and support to people who care for others at home, in care homes, hospital or in a nursing home.
The aim of the group is to provide a place for comfort, information, friendship, ideas and support during difficult periods. The development of the Shipmate's programme was based on the ideas and needs of its members with the name coming from the view that everyone is in the same boat.' Formal and informal meetings take place in Shipston at the Horseshoe Pub and St Edmund's Church Hall to allow people to share similar experiences.
For more information about membership and meetings please contact either Barbara Smith, volunteer co-ordinator, on 01608 662433 or the South Warwickshire Alzheimers Society Branch on 01926 888899.
