Celebrating the Vital Work of Dementia Friendly Guernsey

Updated: 2025-05-28 11:57:51

 

 

At Sarnia Carers, we witness every day how much understanding, compassion, and community support mean to those living with dementia and their loved ones. Dementia Friendly Guernsey is an inspiring example of this support in action, and we are truly grateful for the lifeline they provide to so many across our island.

 

Free, Friendly, and Compassionate Support

Dementia Friendly Guernsey offers all their services completely free of charge, making sure that anyone affected by dementia can access the help and guidance they need. Their dedicated team and volunteers provide practical advice, information, and a welcoming space for individuals, families, and carers. Whether you’re seeking support, a listening ear, or helpful resources, you will always be met with genuine understanding and kindness.

 

Their services include:

  • Drop-in sessions for friendly support, advice, and reassurance in a relaxed environment.
  • Awareness workshops and community activities designed to help people live well with dementia and foster greater understanding in Guernsey.
  • Helpful resources, hints, and tips for managing daily life with dementia, all delivered with empathy and encouragement.

 

Looking Forward to Learning More

We are excited to be attending Dementia Friendly Guernsey’s upcoming presentation with Big Ian on 4th June at the Peninsular Hotel. We look forward to gaining new insights, connecting with others in the community, and bringing back valuable knowledge to further support our clients and their families.

 

A Heartfelt Thank You

We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone at Dementia Friendly Guernsey for their dedication and compassion. Your commitment is a vital lifeline for so many, and your efforts are helping to make Guernsey a more inclusive and supportive place for all.
