Welcome! Faith in Older People works to celebrate the lives of older people, and to develop best practice in understanding and meeting the spiritual needs of older people and their families. We recognise that the idea of ‘spiritual care’ is complex. It includes faith-based needs but also encompasses those which are not allied to a particular faith. We work with individuals, organisations and services of all kinds to promote understanding and develop good practice. We hope you will find our website stimulating and informative. Please contact us and tell us about your interests and ideas and please visit us again. FiOP aims to improve the quality of life of older people by ensuring that person-centred care fully incorporates the spiritual dimension so that what really matters to an individual, drawn from their personal histories, needs and routines is recognised and acted upon. We work primarily with those who provide care, whether paid or unpaid, be they health or social care staff, hospital chaplains, volunteers and clergy. To do this we offer a range of courses; undertake research; organise debates and lectures to challenge thinking provide mentoring and support and develop ways of worshipping with people who have dementia.
