Who we are

Dementia Jersey aims to make Jersey a dementia friendly island where people with dementia and their families are welcomed, understood, and supported. But we can’t achieve this without a step change in the way people with dementia and their families are supported in Jersey.

People with dementia and their carers have a right to live well and receive the care and support they need to fulfil their potential with dignity and respect.
Whilst it is estimated that approximately 1600 in Jersey live with dementia it is said that for each person with dementia seven other people – be it as spouse, partner, carer, family and friends – are affected and also need advice and support.

The number of people with dementia is set to more than double within a generation, so we need to set in motion a step change now in the way people with dementia and their families are supported in Jersey.

We’re committed to growing the charity to keep pace with demand and increase our influence where it matters, but we can’t do it alone. Whether you’re interested in partnering with us to extend our reach, taking part in Dementia awareness training, volunteering or fundraising, we want to hear from you. Join us on our journey.
