It’s Time To Get To Know Dementia, Whatever Your Age

The ripple effects of dementia are felt throughout our community, but it is NOT an inevitable part of the ageing process.

A message from our sponsor

"We were pleased to have the opportunity to team up with The List and support their Dementia Awareness Campaign this autumn."

"Earlier this year we supported the Guernsey Alzheimer’s Association ('GAA') for the first time when we asked if they would design our Puffin as part of the Guernsey Puffin Parade. Over 6 weeks we got together with GAA members and residents from Greenacres as their design brought the Puffin to life."

"We are also keen to support the important work being done by The List in raising awareness of good mental health and well-being, this compliments our existing support of Guernsey Mind and their Gower Sunrise Walk which takes place each July".

Hannah Boylin, on behalf of Gower
