Dementia Jersey have a very clear vision, being to quite simply make Jersey a more dementia friendly island where all those affected by dementia are understood, welcomed and supported.

Over the last year the team have had to find new ways of supporting their friends and clients and now offer a blend of virtual and face to face support and activities that ranges from counselling and dementia advice to their amazing musical memories and arts exploration groups. The successful Dementia Friends programme offers individuals and groups in the community and the workplace the opportunity to learn more about what dementia is and isn't and how people can make a difference by learning just 5 key points.
