Encore Community Respite Ministry is designed to empower those with memory loss to live fully and live well, and is open to people of all faith backgrounds in Birmingham and surrounding areas. The program is progressive, interactive and affirming, incorporating elements of creative and cultural arts, civic service, fitness, intellectual stimulation, and social and spiritual fulfillment.

Held here at Canterbury on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, the program is thriving and can always use new volunteers. If interested in volunteering, please join us for the next training session on January 29 from 9 AM – 12 Noon in the Encore room.
