We’re celebrating #DementiaAwarenessWeek this week. Today, you’ll find us on Brook Street (opposite Voisins), please pop along and say hello! We’ll be on hand to answer any questions you might have about dementia and the support available.
This year, we’re focusing on risk reduction – choosing to raise awareness of how adopting simple healthy lifestyle habits can help people lower their risk of dementia.
Although getting older is the biggest risk factor for dementia, evidence shows that making healthy lifestyle choices, such as staying active, eating healthy and exercising your mind, can all play a part in reducing your risk.
We have a number of events and activities planned throughout the week. Hit the link in our bio to find out how you can get involved!

While age and genetics are the biggest risk factors for dementia, it is not an inevitable part of ageing.
Healthy habits and lifestyle factors can play a role in reducing the risk of dementia. These include:
- Being active
- Eating a balanced diet
- Maintaining a healthy weight
- Not smoking
- Getting good sleep
We`ll be sharing more information about risk reduction during #DementiaAwarenessWeek. If you`d like to find out more information, hit the link in our bio.

Fundraiser shout out! Meet Bianca...
Bianca will be doing the White Collar Boxing with @Boxinbusiness on the 13th May and has chosen to raise money for Dementia Jersey in memory of her Popa.
"I lost my popa in 2021 from dementia so I thought I would take on this challenge in memory of him and to raise money for a charity close to my heart. I`m going into week 7 of training and loving every minute of it!"
We`re so grateful for your support Bianca and wish you the best of luck in your final weeks of training and for fight night!
Show Bianca some support via her fundraising page: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/bianca-saville1
