| Annotation | The role that the Anglican clergy and the church community can play in supporting people with dementia was examined in a survey, which looked at who is currently offering support to people with dementia, the types of support, and the support the clergy would like to offer. A questionnaire was sent to all 197 clergy in the Stafford Episcopal Area of the Anglican Diocese of Lichfield; 66 replies were received (33.5% response rate). The clergy are already involved in pastoral visits and support; and the findings suggest that they would welcome training that would help increase their confidence in providing such support, or as advocates.
