	Description:		According to the Alzheimer’s Society, 1 in 3 people in the UK will be diagnosed with dementia in their lifetime. 55 million people worldwide. But, what is dementia, how does it affect people, and what role does faith play in a person’s journey with dementia? In this programme, presenter Delyth Liddell talks to her mother about the experience of being a full-time carer for a relative with dementia. We also visit Rhos on Sea, just outside Colwyn Bay, to meet the chaplain of Coed Craig residential and dementia care home. Samantha Hodgins talks about the GOLUD initiative, helping churches support those with dementia, and invites us to a weekly Fellowship Service she runs. Details of organisations offering information and support with dementia are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline, or you can call for free, at any time to hear recorded information on 08000 560 780.
