About the Enabling Church day conference …

National Disability Adviser to the Church of England, Roy McCloughry talked about the conference in the weeks leading up to it …

  • Face the challenge of dementia?

  • Enable disabled people?

  • Include Deaf people?

  • Support carers?

Every local church needs to become an ‘enabling church’ that welcomes, includes and involves people with dementia, disability, deafness, their families and those that care for them. The programme involves a majority of speakers with direct experience of a range of disabilities, either for themselves or with close family members.
