Dementia Awareness Week: Join us to Make a Difference!
Events, Activities, and Dementia Friends Sessions – supporting our community and raising awareness.
This Dementia Awareness Week (13th – 19th May), Dementia Jersey invites you to join us in making a difference in our local community. Throughout the week, we’ll be hosting a variety of events and activities to raise awareness and foster a dementia-friendly Jersey.
Our focus this year is brain health – raising awareness that loving your heart, keeping connected and staying sharp in your 40s and 50s, are all ways you can reduce your risk of dementia. You can find out more about our Boost Your Brain campaign here: www.dementia.je/boostyourbrain
