Have you watched our new videos for carers series? These videos have been created with carers, for carers - to ensure the videos truly reflect the real-life experiences of carers, we worked closely with a focus group of family carers to refine the content.
Every participant said they would recommend the series to others, sharing feedback such as:
“I wish these videos had been around when I found out about my partner’s dementia.”
“This is such helpful, caring advice… We’d be lost without Dementia Jersey.”
You are not alone. This video series is here for you 24/7 – free, practical support from experts.

Our volunteers have kindly chosen to donate the £1,000 back to the charity to go towards supporting people in Jersey living with dementia.
Winning the Pride of Jersey award is a wonderful recognition of the staggering 3,700 hours our ‘Purple Army’ of over 50 volunteers has dedicated to our community.
