A wonderful time was had at @highlandscollegejersey on Monday, launching our Tea and Talk initiative, with a special afternoon tea provided by the Culinary Arts students.
The students put on a ‘dementia friendly’ session in the Academy Restaurant for people living with dementia and a friend or family member, all free of charge. We are truly grateful for this generous treat.
ITV came along and got some lovely footage, you can watch it back here: https://www.itv.com/watch/news/the-benefits-of-a-good-brew-and-how-it-can-help-those-living-with-dementia-and-their-carers/5wmd863

Just when we thought today couldn’t get any brighter 🌞 our attendees filled the room with vibrant colours at our Art Exploration group. Their beautiful ‘mark making’ creations are a wonderful reminder of the joy and creativity that art can bring.
Art Exploration is our weekly art session designed specifically for people living with dementia, and members of their families and carers. It offers a safe space for creativity, connection and social engagement.
We have spaces at our session on a Wednesday morning, 10am until 11.15am in St Peter.
Why not have a taster session to see if it’s the right fit for you and the person you care for with dementia.

💖 Love was in the air at first community event for 2026 - our Valentine dance at Communicare last Saturday 💖 It was wonderful to see everyone up dancing and enjoying themselves.
“What a wonderful party you gave yesterday for Valentine’s Day. We enjoyed it very much. I haven’t seen him so animated for a long time. He was singing along and smiling, such a joy to see, thank you. The food was delicious and as always your volunteers were wonderful. I am so grateful for all the activities and help you give us. We would be lost without the Dementia Jersey Activities.”
We couldn’t put on these lovely community events without the support from others. We had delicious cakes donated by @ransoms_tearooms and @viennabakeryjsy, @cicoop kindly gave us vouchers for us to buy goodies towards the event and our lovely volunteer Paula baked some tasty treats too! Big thank you to the fabulous Terry Arthur for entertaining too.

It’s #NationalPuzzleDay! 🧩 At Dementia Jersey, we’re celebrating the power of puzzles to stay sharp as part of our #BoostYourBrain campaign.
Keeping your brain active is one of the many positive steps you can take to support your brain health. Whether it’s a crossword with your morning coffee or a jigsaw with family – every little challenge helps keep your mind engaged.
Puzzles can:
🧠 Stimulate memory and problem-solving skills
🧠 Improve concentration
🧠 Support overall cognitive wellbeing
🧠 Provide a fun way to connect with others
Today, why not set aside some time to challenge yourself and encourage a friend, colleague or family member to join you?
Staying sharp doesn’t have to be complicated. Small, regular brain workouts can make a real difference over time.
Take part. Get puzzling. Boost your brain.

Join us at our Carers Support Meeting on Tuesday 10th February with guest speakers from some of our emergency services who will give guidance on what to do when a carer is experiencing difficulty from a person with dementia.
There are times when a situation can become overwhelming or someone becomes unmanageable for one reason or another, and calling for help feels like the only option. This session is designed to reduce fear and uncertainty by helping carers understand what each service does, what they may need and how they are likely to respond. The goal is simple: to minimise distress and anxiety for carers, while also helping services do their jobs safely and effectively.
You’ll hear from the Ambulance Service, Police and Crisis Team.
Date: Tuesday 10th February
Time: 7pm-9pm
Although free to attend, booking it required. Please RSVP by Friday 6th Feb by email to info@dementia.je or call 01534 723519.
