A BIG thank you to Margaret Perree! 🎉
On 4th April Margaret celebrated her 90th birthday with family and friends at St Brelade’s Bay Hotel. She had a fabulous party and kindly asked guests to make a donation to Dementia Jersey instead of bringing gifts.
Guests generously donated £730 in her honour!
A heartfelt thank you to Margaret for her kindness and to everyone who made donations.
All funds raised will go towards supporting people in Jersey living with dementia and their families 💜

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.

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.
