Statement from the Churches Together in England's Presidents, following the Manchester Attack

‘Our thoughts and prayers are with all those bereaved and injured by the cruel, senseless terrorist attack in Manchester. May God grant them strength and courage. Our faith teaches us that even the worst of evils can never defeat love, so we pray that the people of Manchester, of all faiths and none, will discover a renewed unity as they respond to this atrocity with compassion, dignity and hope.'

Both Churches, Holymoorside and St Andrew's, are striving to become Dementia Friendly Churches, where those living with Dementia and their Carers are welcome and find the Church catering for their needs.
