Our theme for Community Heroes in the Spotlight this May is Dementia Action Week, 13th – 19th May. Immanuel Church, Southbourne provide a wide range of weekly events for people with Dementia and their carers.
The weekly events include:

- Community Lunch
- Tuesday stroll
- Wellbeing120
- Friday Film Club and more!
Immanuel Church hosts a monthly Carer’s Support Group and Friendship Club and an ‘AfterCare’ bereavement support group that meets monthly, is peer-led and is there for people after the loss of the person they cared for. Immanuel Church is also a help to their community as they host:
- A Foodbank, which operates 3 times a week
- Citizens Advice
- Seated exercise classes
- Cycle Without Age.
The church has a welcoming café called ‘Jubilatte’ (which means Rejoice) and is open to the public Monday – Friday from 9:30 am-3 pm, serving light bites, and drinks.
The cafe is a great space for all community members to enjoy a healthy low-cost meal. The Café also offers a ‘Free Food Fridge’ and a variety of breads/pastries, collected from local supermarkets, which are free to take, as needed.
Liz Carter from Immanuel Church was interviewed on Hope FM with our Engagement Lead, Hannah Rees.
