Enabling a better understanding of the importance of the spiritual dimension to the well-being of older people
Faith in Older People believes spiritual care is much broader than any one faith or religion, and is of relevance to everyone.
IMPORTANT UPDATE
FiOP and the Corona Virus
We hope that you are keeping well and that you have the support that you need in these difficult times. Sadly, we have taken the decision, in line with the guidance from the UK and Scottish Governments, that we should postpone all our events for the next two months. (Dated 30th March 2020)

Why we exist
Research has evidenced that the spiritual dimension is of great importance as we age. It guides person-centred care by understanding the inner person and their values, and to take this as the starting point for caring practice.
The challenge for older people is to make sense of life at a stage when loss and change occur more frequently and perhaps more painfully.
