Supporting people living with dementia through a relaxed and informal support group for those living with dementia and their carers.
'Moments’ started in 2015 after awareness grew of the many who live with the challenges of dementia who remain in their own homes. Relatives who provide 24 hour care for them were often found to be overwhelmed by the task and many times in desperate need for support.
‘Moments’ seeks to offer space for a self-support group, along with activities for those living with dementia. Carers often take the opportunity to leave their loved ones in the group and go elsewhere for a couple of hours respite, confident that their loved ones are being supported, challenged and entertained by appropriate activities in a safe environment. A community of friendly and supportive people has developed who are ready and willing to welcome in newcomers.
Every Monday 10.00am - 12.00pm in the Activity Room and Café at Solihull United Reformed Church.
Please phone Elaine Jones for information on 07707621701 or email solihullurc@gmail.com.

We sing each Thursday from 2 pm to 3 pm. We sing in four parts (SATB) usually, covering a wide range of secular and religious settings; ranging from Pop, Folk and more serious music. New members are always made welcome. It is a social occasion as much as musical and there is much humour and repartee. Afterwards we have tea and a natter, which usually takes another 30 minutes.
Usually open Saturdays 9am-12 noon in School term time in the café. Hot and cold drinks available, homemade cake, biscuits, crisps and fruit. Reasonable prices. Open to everyone – no need to hurry away.
Occasional all-age church exploring faith through arts, crafts and other activities. The event includes a short all-age worship time and we embrace the national Messy Church values of Hospitality, being Christ-centred, creativity, celebration and being all-age. We usually meet in each school holiday on a Tuesday morning with registration beginning at 10.30. We round off the time by eating a light cooked lunch together finishing at approximately 12.30pm. There is no charge though a donation towards the cost of the food can be made, but this is not expected. All are welcome.
We have several Home Groups which meet together monthly during the day or evening for friendship, discussion and prayer. We encourage everyone to explore which group might be right for them as these are the best way to get to know people in a home setting and find support in your new, or on-going, Christian faith. For more information about the groups and to find out when and where they are meeting please use the church contact page or call the office.
We are delighted to have built up a good relationship with a local primary school taking lessons and offering advice and support for staff with their RE curriculum. We have been greatly involved with a Creative Arts Week over the last few years offering cross-curricular activities with art and RE. At Christmas we have been invited to tell the story and work with various year groups, and at Easter we work with all the classes from the 2 year-old preschool children, through to the top year group.
Generations Project – Sharing God’s Love through Activities, Word, Touch and Song
Generations Outreach (CTCS project) aims to offer a wide spread of different activities including Worship and Pastoral Care within Care Homes and Sheltered Accommodation. Amongst those resident in local care homes are many who have led lives of faithful Christian discipleship and those who have had little church contact, for many the traditional hymns will resonate in their memories.
This work has obviously been limited by the Covid Pandemic but homes are beginning to open up again now with various safety measures in place.

We work with, and support, Solihull Churches Action on Homelessness in Solihull. We host their storage, and meetings, and some of our members undertake voluntary work with them. Further information can be found on their website.
Several of our members are involved with Open the Book, a national scheme written by the Bible Society and run locally by Solihull Methodist Church. Our members are delighted to be able to go into several local Primary Schools to lead assemblies with them.
We are always looking for ways to support the chaplaincy at Solihull Hospital with the hospital being just across the road from us. In December 2019 we hosted a carol concert for the Friends of Solihull Hospital charity. Our Singing for Pleasure group go into the wards when invited to support the chaplaincy clergy there and one of our members regularly volunteers in the hospital.
We are members of Churches Together in Central Solihull and Churches Together in Olton. We take part in many of the activities and events that these groups organise which are often specifically associated with special seasons of the church year but not always.
We are delighted to host a bimonthly prayer meeting of Churches Together in Central Solihull in our café. This is open to all and attended by at least one representative from nearly all the churches in Central Solihull and their clergy. We catch up on news from the local churches while we enjoy our own packed lunches and then pray over the various joys, matters and concerns which have been raised. Meeting on the third Wednesday, alternate months at 12.30pm for, usually, a little over an hour. Please feel free to ask about the date of the next meeting and come along and join us.
