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 Mary Youth and Community Centre.
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.
Be with others (as much as you can).
The Global Council on Brain Health states that there is ‘compelling evidence’ that social engagement has a positive effect on the brain. Tips on getting the most out of socialising include focusing on relationships and activities that you enjoy and maintaining contact with people of different ages, including younger people. Those who find socialising difficult are advised to start small by, for instance, sharing a smile a day with someone or showing an interest in someone by asking how they are.
Go to see the puffins, then reward yourself with a drink or ice cream.
Keep us up to date on how you’re getting on and share your photos!
