Welcome to Dementia Jersey’s Big Brain Challenge!
The challenge is to navigate your way to all 25 locations on the island to have a chance to win an iPad donated by Jersey Telecom.
St Andrew’s Church.
Each location contains some information about improving your brain health, and a clue to the next location. As you read the information about improving your brain health, you will notice that there is a letter in purple. Make a record of each purple letter at each site so that once you have visited them all you will be able to make a phrase about brain health. You can then submit the phrase via our website, giving you a chance to win an iPad.
Community is good for brain health, and community means being around lots of different people.
Sometimes we only want to be around people we like, but this is not always good for our brain health. People we like may not challenge us enough to really stimulate the brain. It’s a good idea to spend at least a little time in settings where there are people you may not always get along with. Challenging yourself to try to get along with these people is good for your brain health because it forces your brain to work hard. Obviously, don’t do this if it is too upsetting or causes you too much stress.
Have a seat under the bronze Freedom Tree to find the next location.
Keep us up to date on how you’re getting on and share your photos!
