Have Tea Together to Boost Your Brain
At Dementia Jersey, we’re on a mission to spread the word that up to 45% of cases could be reduced through lifestyle changes. For the month of March, we are encouraging everyone to Keep Connected – as social isolation is proven to increase your chance of developing dementia.*
Why Tea and Talk?
The colder months can mean we stay home more often – but we’re encouraging everyone to Keep Connected by meeting up.
Staying in touch may not be the first thing we think of to reduce dementia risk. But strong evidence suggests infrequent social contact, and especially isolation, are risk factors.
Whether in a tearoom, restaurant, or at home, taking the time to catch-up is good for our brain.
So, this is one tiny step we can make to reduce risk!
How to Join In
Tea and Talk has two strands:
Firstly, you can find special themed cakes at our partner venues – Radisson Blu, Ransoms Tearooms, and The Driftwood Café. Here, you can enjoy a slice of cake and catch-up face to face to Keep Connected. You’ll even be provided with conversation starter cards to help you along!
Not wanting to go out? You can also take part using one of our DIY Tea and Talk bags – full of everything you need to catch up at home!
