News and updates from our Social Media

We are incredibly grateful to the Skipton International `Skipton Community Fund` for their generous £2,000 grant towards the printing of the next two issues of our Dementia Matters magazine.

Dementia Matters is our quarterly magazine, filled with practical advice, local support information, personal stories, and tips for living well with dementia. Thanks to this support, we can print and distribute 750 copies across the Island, reaching Parish Halls, GP surgeries, dentists, and the Memory Assessment Centre, ensuring help is visible and accessible when it’s needed most.

Dementia Matters is more than a magazine; it’s reassurance, connection, and a reminder that no one has to face dementia alone.

Sign up to our emails, and receive an issue directly to your inbox, or pop by our office to pick up a copy.

Past issues can be found here: https://dementia.je/information/resources/dementia-matters-magazine/

Thank you, Skipton Community Fund, for helping us work towards a more dementia-friendly Jersey.

Our Reframing Dementia exhibition shines a light on the real lives, stories, and experiences of people living with dementia - including AB, whose journey is one of resilience, activity, and positivity.

From Parish affairs and cooking, to staying socially connected and active every day, AB’s story challenges common perceptions of what life with dementia looks like.

This powerful exhibition invites you to look beyond the diagnosis and see the person — their passions, their contributions, and their ongoing story.

Date: Friday 15th May – Sunday 7th June
Times: 12PM - 6PM (closed Mondays)
Location: Capital House, 8 Church Street, St Helier
Cost: FREE

Come along to celebrate the lives of nine remarkable islanders, be inspired, and help us reframe the conversation around dementia.
