Stories

Memory Lane and Hymn Singing

Christopher Taylor talks about the benefit of Memory Lane - a recreation of a 1950s street which residents of the Care Home visit in order to rekindle memories from their past and thereby encourage conversation and well-being. Pam takes one resident, Phyllis, down Memory Lane and talks to her about the past.

The second part of this item demonstrates the benefit of hymn singing for people with dementia. Blossom Fields hosts a regular Church Service run by local church volunteers. We feature Rita Severn, a former Sunday School teacher, who has had dementia for 13 years and enjoys singing hymns. Her daughter, Rachel Cottell, talks about her mother and her own faith.

Dominique Walker

Dominique Walker lost her brother Anthony to a race hate crime in July 2005. Following his murder, Dominique discovered his killers were members of her own local community, which drove her to seek justice not just for her own family but for other victims of hate crime. This desire led her to train for the Police in 2009. Now as a constable for Merseyside Police, and as their Hate Crime Coordinator, she continues to help crime victims听 alongside her work for the Anthony Walker Foundation and at Liverpool John Moores University where she lectures in Policing Studies.

She attributes her unexpected career in the police to God's guidance and tells Josie how her Christian faith has helped her live through the tough process of forgiving her brother's killers.

Liverpool Parade

Claire McCollum is in Liverpool seeing how Christian unity is being demonstrated on the streets of the city with the Pentecost Pageant.

Dr. Jennifer Bute

Dr. Jennifer Bute is a retired GP whose Christian faith took her to Mozambique when she was in her 20s. She reminisces about her time there before Pam reveals that she is now retired and spends all her time helping people with dementia. This is because she herself has dementia. She talks about how that feels and how she regards her condition as a gift from God that enables her to help others. She concludes by explaining how a pot she was given in Mozambique symbolises her situation. The pot was broken. She put it back together. It can no longer hold water but it still has beauty - as people do with dementia.
