Welcome to the ninth issue ofWhat an incredible few months it’s been! I want to extend a hearelt thank you to everyone who made Demena Awareness Week in May such a resounding success. This year we put our ‘Boost Your Brain’ campaign front and centre empowering our community with praccal ways to enhance brain health through mental, physical and social acvity. It was fantasc connecng with so many of you at our eye-catching high-street stalls, through engaging interacve games and at our insighul talks. Our stand out event, the Big Brain Challenge, brought fun and learning to over 130 people as they embarked on a unique puzzle-lled scavenger hunt across town. Parcipants tackled clues by scanning QR codes on buildings and a huge thank you to Lakey’s for providing an electric bike as a prize for our worthy winner. June brought another highlight: our annual aernoon tea at Government House, generously sponsored by Walkers. This special event allowed us to personally thank our incredible grant-givers, major donors, corporate supporters and partners. It was also a signicant milestone marking 15 years since Demena Jersey became an independent Jersey charity. Lady Kyd, our patron, moved us deeply with her inspiring speech which powerfully arculated the ongoing need for our work and underscored the value of her steadfast support. Thank you for reading and sharing our magazine, together we can make a real dierence in our community.

7Awareness Events With the support of a range of gallant volunteers, we had a number of pop-up stands; from banks to supermarkets we went out into the community to chat to the public. We also had a signicant presence on the high street with stalls at Charing Cross and Brook Street across the week and bucket collecons around town, thanks to corporate supporters: HSBC, Anity Private Wealth, Ocorian and Praxis. Not only that, but our Community Educaon Coordinator, Jane, delivered several Demena Awareness sessions including two open sessions at Santander Work Café. All part of our drive to create a demena-friendly island.Widening the reach of our message we were lucky to have been featured every day in the Jersey Evening Post, connected to their Dignity in Demena campaign, including pieces on our new training oer for professional carers and how we can all Boost Our Brains. Boost Your Brain Events We used Demena Awareness Week this year to connue to promote Boost Your Brain - our brain health awareness campaign. We launched our Big Brain Challenge at the same me - a family-friendly scavenger hunt throughout St Helier that links to key messages of smulang our brains and keeping physically acve. Down at The Pavilion (to the rear of Liberty Wharf) we held a special Boost Your Brain stand, where we shared informaon and gave out ‘stress brains’ to a few lucky visitors. We were accompanied by our mascot (a ‘brain’ superhero) who challenged the public to play giant garden games! This was the perfect locaon for our message, as we have Boost Your Brain branded planters in-situ – plus some informaonal hoarding boards nearby. These games – Connect 4 and Jenga – were chosen to illustrate how we can all Stay Sharp. This is the second pillar of our campaign alongside ‘Love Your Heart’ and ‘Keep Connected’ onto which we have recently moved our focus. Read on to nd out more about Staying Sharp and why this is an important part of brain health. Dementia Dementia Awareness WeekAwareness WeekStaying Sharp on Staying Sharp on the Streetsthe StreetsDementia Awareness Week 2025The week is a campaign instigated by the Alzheimer’s Society, with the aim of encouraging people across the UK to take acon and raise awareness of dementia.

8The Big Brain Challenge launched during Demena Awareness Week and 130 intrepid entrants took part! A free scavenger hunt with a dierence, entrants walked the town of St Helier, searching for brain-shaped sckers with QR codes that hosted clues. With ten stops along the way, walkers also pieced together leers hidden within the answers, to spell out a word.Our fantasc prize for one lucky entrant was an electric bike worth approximately £2,000 – generously donated by our challenge sponsors, Lakey’s.We had entrants who walked alone aer work, families on the weekend, couples, a group of runners and even a few furry friends who took part!The challenge was designed to spread the important news that up to 45% of demena cases could be prevented by lifestyle changes made in earlier life. Our three main messages – Love Your Heart; Stay Sharp; Keep Connected – were encapsulated this sociable, family-friendly, puzzle-solving acvity.Once the challenge closed, entries were allocated a number and a prize winner was selected anonymously and at random. Richard Watson – who completed the trail as a fundraising acvity with the Jersey Hash Harriers – was selected. Congratulaons Richard!Don’t forget Don’t forget If you completed the challenge, you are now entled to 25% o bike servicing (excluding parts) from Lakey’s.

Boost Your Brain!Boost Your Brain!Exploring Mental Stimulation as part of our latest campaignWant to look aer your brain health? Keeping mentally smulated is key. We know that not all demenas can be prevented, so ‘vicm blaming’ is unhelpful. People can sll get demena even if they do everything ‘right’, as some factors – including biological sex, age, genes and environment, are outside of our control. Considering how you can ‘Boost Your Brain’ is about risk reducon and symptom delay, not about denite prevenon.Current research shows a complex interplay between several factors that can lead to demena, which also includes some healthy behaviours we can adopt. Evidence shows that up to 45% of demenas could be avoided by reducing known risk factors, some of those factors relate to Staying Sharp. Why Stay Sharp? *While Loving Your Heart is all about your physical health, including feeding yourself with good food and exercising your body, Staying Sharp is about ‘exercising’ your mind. Research suggests that regularly challenging your brain helps to build your ‘cognive reserve’. This is your brain’s ability to keep working properly, even when hit by diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Think of a reserve of water – a reservoir. The higher it is lled, the longer it remains at a healthy level when challenged by drought or In the last edion of Demena Maers, we considered how heart health and brain health are connected. This me, we’ll be taking a deep dive into the link between keeping mentally acve and brain health, as our new focus for the campaign.10

we top it up, the more likely to it is to remain healthy as we age. Keep mentally smulated, through individual or social acvies, helps to build this reserve. Learning new things and challenging our mind is also benecial. Higher educaon, complex work roles and smulang hobbies all add to this.You might be wondering which hobbies have the biggest impact? The truth is that new research is developing all the me in this area, so we can’t be sure – but it appears that there is no ‘wonder’ acvity that is proven to reduce risk more than others. Experts believe that the answer is to do things we enjoy – as these become sustainable hobbies (that we are more likely to maintain) and also have the added impact of liing our mood. This, in turn, has secondary benets such as reducing the risk of poor sleep and encouraging us to be more social.Examples of acvies that could help you to Stay Sharp include:• Learning a new language• Reading – con or non-con• Compleng art or cra acvies• Playing board games or compleng complex jigsaws• Journalling or creave wring• Aending talks and lectures on local history or culture • Learning an instrument • Compleng daily puzzles and word games• Enrolling on an adult educaon course. On island, we have a range of events and facilies that can help with this for low or no cost; for example, The Jersey Museum is free to enter and the library runs hosts books and audio books, plus schedules some acvies, for free. Other talks and acvies can be found online, for example via Vibrant Jersey (www.vibrantjersey.je) or Eventbrite (www.eventbrite.co.uk – search for Jersey at the top). Now’s the me to pledge to Stay Sharp and Boost Your Brain!Boost your Brain has the support of Public Health and is based on a campaign by Alzheimer’s Research UK.

Patron Lady Gene McColl at the opening ceremony of the charity’s new oce premises on Hilgrove Street16Before becoming an independent charity, we operated as a local branch of the Alzheimer’s Society from 1989; but in 2009, a bold decision was made by our commiee: to break away and establish a charity to beer t the needs of Islanders. With just a kitchen table, a laptop and £5,000 of seed funding, Jersey Alzheimer’s Associaon was born.A ny team with big dreams, determinaon and a deep commitment to improving life for those aected by demena laid the foundaon for what would become Demena Jersey. In 2021, we changed our name to Demena Jersey to beer reect our support and make it clearer that we are here for all This year marks 15 years of Demena Jersey being an independent charity dedicated to supporng people in Jersey aected by dementia.

We oer 11 dierent types of therapeuc acvies, as well as support, advice and guidance through our Demena Advisors, counselling services and training programmes. We also work hard to raise awareness and educate the wider community to help achieve our mission to create a demena-friendly island.As part of our 15th anniversary, we reached out to some of the key people who played a vital role in our journey – those who helped shape the charity into what it is today. This is a celebraon of their vision, resilience and dedicaon, as much as it is a celebraon of the work we do now and into the future.Felicity Freeman served as a Trustee on the Board of Trustees.Can you share with us your fondest memory or core memory from your me at Demena Jersey? A core memory as a Trustee has been watching the Demena Jersey Trustees develop from a group that relied on a few key individuals (such as Kim Averty, Jim Hollywood, Advocate Michael Clapham and Andrew Le Feuvre to name but a few), to a strong widely experienced professional team, expertly led by current Chairman Chris Renouf.I also have very fond memories of Jim Hollywood, former Chair and the stories he used to tell at Trustee meetings and other sengs.If you compare Demena Jersey then and now, what would you say the biggest dierences are? The increased scope of the support services, the Meeng Place Project and the wide range of fun acvies that Demena Jersey is able to oer, possible from the growth in funding, quality of sta and the army of excellent volunteers.How would you sum up the role Demena Jersey plays within our Island community?

18Demena Strategy, reduce sgma and encourage a whole community approach.Annee Tomkinson has long-standing relaonship with Demena Jersey, her husband, the late Mike Tomkinson was the charity’s former manager.If you compare Demena Jersey then and now, what would you say the biggest dierences are? Since its launch, Demena Jersey has expanded its services in every direcon! I recently had a brief chat with Sian Wareing-Jones, the charity’s Clinical Lead and Counsellor, about the changes. Sian is the longest-serving member of sta and 15 years ago, it was just her, a general manager and a part-me oce administrator! Back then, the only service was a carers’ meeng at the William Kno Centre and Mike had just introduced Musical Memories. It’s incredible to see how much things have grown—every aspect of the service has evolved dramacally.How would you sum up the role Demena Jersey plays within our Island community? I would say the role within the Community is essenal. Although health care has expanded in all sorts of ways there isn’t always any joined up thinking for the various needs a paent may have. Demena Jersey supplies that back up and importantly, it also does it for carers and family. Although it’s independence as a charity gives freedom and speed to act, the great work done on the strategy plan will, I hope, forge closer links with the Government’s health services.Kim Averty is the former Chairman and Treasurer who helped to establish the charity independently in 2009 and was pivotal in this process. Kim was part of the charity for nine years up unl she became a Jurat in 2019. Can you share with us your fondest memory or core memory from your me at Demena Jersey? My core memory is, despite the enormity of what was involved in seng up the charity from nothing, how successful we were in achieving our aims thanks to the support of commied volunteers and the people of Jersey.If you compare Demena Jersey then and now, what would you say the biggest dierences are? I am so proud to see how far the charity has come from its small beginnings especially the expansion of its services.How would you sum up the role Demena Jersey plays within our Island community? Demena Jersey’s role is vital in raising awareness of people with demena and their families and carers and the challenges they face. Also, the provision of praccal support and acvies to those people.The rst 15 years of the charity have been incredibly pro-acve and we have fostered great relaonships with the community and with various organisaons across the Island. Here’s to the next chapter in our journey and thank you to everyone who connues to support our mission to help make Jersey a more demena friendly island.The oce team in 2010 with manager Mark BlameyDementia Jersey

20Since early 2024, Demena Jersey has oered a Demena Informaon Programme for unpaid carers – oering insights to the friends and family of those living with demena. Yet last year’s Strong Foundaons: A Demena Strategy for Jersey highlighted decits in demena specic knowledge and training for professionals as ‘consistently raised’ across stakeholders, leading to workforce development as a key priority for acon. The quality of care on island has connued to be in the news in recent months with the Jersey Evening Post’s Dignity in Demena campaign sharing some challenging lived experiences. But there is cause to be hopeful. At Demena Jersey we are delighted to share details of our new full-day, face-to-face, scenario-based training oer to meet this shorall. Building on feedback both from islanders and care-sector leaders, it is mapped to naonal demena care guidelines.Our ‘Best Pracce Demena Care’ course is designed to equip professional carers with an understanding of demena causes, symptoms and care needs – via a person-centred approach. The primary aim of the course is to provide the fundamental knowledge and skills to support people living with demena, with dignity. A pilot course was delivered for Jersey Care Commission sta in March. With rst delivery of the nal content planned to commence at the end of June, places are already in high demand.Hand in hand with the need for care can come vulnerability for people living with demena – meaning high quality, respecul and reliable care is vital.

Since joining our Monday Meeng Place Project, Macey has brought a lovely energy to the group.“I enjoy spending me with people, sharing small moments and knowing I’ve made someone’s day a bit beer,” she says. “It’s rewarding to be part of something that brings comfort and joy to others.”Macey was especially drawn to Demena Jersey’s person-centred approach and the way it helps both those living with demena and their carers.“It gives people a chance to feel supported and less alone. And for carers, it oers a bit of relief and reassurance. Just being there really makes a dierence.”We’re so lucky to have Macey on the team, this year she completed the round island walk whilst wearing a Demena Jersey shirt, helping to promote awareness in the island and raise an incredible £650 – she’s a great example of how young people can bring so much to the demena community.Interested in volunteering?

For the past 12 years, I’ve been a Soware Trainer for a local training company, teaching both in-person and remote lessons on how to eecvely use Microso and other applicaons.

The challenges we’ve faced together navigang Power of Aorney, Long Term Care and the care sector alongside the emoonal impact encouraged me to pursue a meaningful career where I can support others as they navigate their own journeys.Meet the teamAs well as one-to-one support, Demena Jersey also provide a range of groups and acvies to support people with demena, carers and family members.Did you Did you know?know?What I love about my jobI enjoy being part of the fantasc team at Demena Jersey, working in a posive and fun environment.

• CST has been found to help the memory and thinking skills of people with mild to moderate demena• People with demena who took part in the therapy group reported improved quality of life• Jersey Memory Assessment Service runs 14-week CST sessions several mes a year.Maintenance Cognive Smulaon Therapy (MCST)Maintenance Cognive Smulaon Therapy (MCST) is a follow-up to the inial CST programme, designed to help people with demena connue beneng from regular mental and social engagement. It involves ongoing sessions that reinforce the skills and condence gained during the inial therapy, using similar acvies like word games, discussions and light physical exercises. The goal is to maintain cognive funcon and emoonal wellbeing over me.Jersey’s Meeng Place Project employs the principles of MCST. The community-based group sessions provide a safe and supporve space to connect with others, share experiences and take part in brain-smulang acvies. The project helps parcipants stay mentally acve and socially included, making it a valuable part of local demena care.If full Cognive Smulaon Therapy feels overwhelming or is not an opon, there are sll acvies you can try at home that support brain health and wellbeing. Here are a few ideas:Cognive Smulaon Therapy (CST) is a structured programme to support people with mild to moderate demena. It involves group sessions with themed acvies like puzzles, music and discussions that help improve memory, thinking and communicaon. Recommended by NICE (Naonal Instute for Health and Care Excellence), CST is a non-drug approach that aims to keep the brain acve and slow cognive decline. Sessions are designed to be enjoyable and relevant to parcipants’ lives and can help to support emoonal wellbeing by encouraging social interacon.

Lived ExperienceLived ExperienceAdvisory NetworkAdvisory NetworkAt Dementia Jersey we are passionate about listening to the voices of our service users. We know that people with demena and their families and friends have a wealth of knowledge and understanding that is only gained from experience. If this is shared it can help other people understand what it is like to have demena or to care for someone with demena. It can also help us at Demena Jersey, health service providers and businesses, to design and provide services to meet people’s needs.And what is LEAN?LEAN is a network of 6 separate groups, including groups for people diagnosed with demena and other groups just for the family and friends of people with demena.These separate groups each meet 4 mes a year, in March, June, September and December to discuss a subject of concern proposed by people aending the LEAN groups, or by the sta, volunteers or trustees of Demena Jersey.Because of LEAN’s advisory purpose, the outcomes of the discussions and the recommendaons of the groups are collated in one document which is then shared, as appropriate, with government departments, health and community service providers, businesses, other charies and with our team at Demena Jersey.LEAN discussions for people with demena take place during our regular Meeng Place Project meengs and meengs for family carers are hosted in our oces in Halke Place. While we hope that family carers aending LEAN feel supported and at ease, these meengs are quite dierent to our carer support groups because of their planned focus for the discussions and their advisory purpose. LEAN in 2025In the last edion of Demena Maers we shared LEAN’s recommendaons and acons up to 2024, so here’s a summary what we have been discussing so far in 2025.In March people aending LEAN shared their experiences of issues related to driving. People spoke of the challenges they faced, with many saying they were unaware of what they were required to do following a diagnosis of demena. Others shared how dicult they found it to discuss this subject and of the challenges they experienced when it was necessary for a person to stop driving. People with demena spoke of feeling conned and of missing the freedom they had when they could drive. Some spoke of their experiences of the cognive and praccal driving tests and others of LEAN44Why Dementia Jersey wants to hear about your experiences

The full report for March, including LEAN’s recommendaons, is now available on our website.In June the focus of LEAN’s discussions was Demena Jersey. As we are currently planning our strategy for the next 3 years, we were keen to hear about what we are doing well, so we can build upon this and about what needs improvement, to make things beer. We also wanted to hear LEAN’s views on some new service ideas, parcularly as we planning more formal links with the Memory Assessment Service and to launch a new holisc needs assessment service later this year for people with demena and family carers. These discussions and LEAN’s recommendaon were invaluable and the full report will be available on our website soon.Lived Experience Advisory Network45What to do if you would like to join in a LEAN discussionIf you have demena and already aend one of the Meeng Place Project sessions, please speak to the leader of your group about LEAN.If you are supporng or caring for a person with demena, please come along to the LEAN sessions detailed below.Friday 12th September – Aending or being in hospitalFriday 12th December – Professional care, at home and in care homes (a change of subject) Meengs are from 12.15 to 13.45 at our oces in Halke Place and facilitated by our Clinical Lead, Dr Sian Wareing-Jones.

Book ClubWhether ction or non-ction, reading can be a great way to increase understanding about demena, as well as providing a useful activity with people with dementia to help stimulate and maintain connections. In this issue we feature books recommended by the Alzheimer’s Society and Demena UK.And Sll the Music Plays: Stories of People with Demena By Graham StokesThe Lile Girl in the Radiatorby Marn SlevinEach chapter tells a true real life story of a person’s experiences of living with demena.Stokes retells these moving stories in an empathec way. He invesgates each person’s historical life experiences to nd reasoning for their individual behaviours.There truly are some ‘eye opening’ and ‘a-ha’ moments within each story. Occasionally, by reading about other peoples experiences, we can hold a mirror to our own and quesons why we; or our loved ones, are reacng in a way that challenges us.This book is based on the author’s experiences of caring for his mother who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Through descripons of events they shared, the author gives an excellent and oen humorous insight into the challenges family members face, sharing acons he took to overcome the symptoms and behaviours his mother experienced. Areas such as the atudes of the general public and the diculty of making decisions around long term care are also depicted in a sensive manner and the author shares his own emoons and thoughts with dignity. The straighorward language and honesty of the author makes it an enjoyable read for carers and health professionals alike.46Recommended by the Alzheimer’s Society Scan this QR code to nd this book on the Alzheimer’s Society ShopRecommended by Dementia UK - Available to purchase from Amazon Scan this QR code to nd this book on Amazon
