Mark your calendars for a very special cup of tea. The Alzheimer Society of Ireland is hosting the 30th Alzheimer’s Tea Day across Ireland and The Alzheimer’s Day Centre in Clarinbridge will join the celebrations with Tea Day on April 29 from 2pm to 4pm at the centre. The 30th anniversary is a significant milestone as statistics show that at least 30 people in Ireland are diagnosed with dementia, every single day.

Caroline Budge Clarinbridge Day Centre Manager asked people to help them celebrate the 30th Anniversary Tea day in Clarinbridge Day Centre.

“We are delighted to host a Tea Day to help support our services users, their families and carers,” she said.

Alzheimer’s Tea Day brings communities together across Ireland to support The ASI’s vital work, providing much-needed resources and services for the 64,000 individuals living with dementia and their families nationwide. With the number of people diagnosed with dementia expected to double in the next 25 years, the need for support has never been greater.

Over the 30 years, Tea Day has raised €10 million to help support people living with dementia across Ireland, along with their families and carers. Register on www.teaday.ie to receive your free organiser’s toolkit, packed with everything you need to host a successful Tea Day event. Funds raised through Alzheimer’s Tea Day support critical services like the Alzheimer’s National Helpline, Daycare programs, home care, family carer training, social clubs, and Alzheimer’s cafes. Your contribution can truly make a difference in the lives of those affected by dementia.

Speaking ahead of the 30th anniversary of Alzheimer’s Tea Day, Mairéad Dillon, Head of Fundraising for the Alzheimer Society of Ireland, said that whether you host an event, attend one, or simply donate, every action brings us closer to a future where no one faces dementia alone.

“Together, let’s raise a cup of kindness and make the 30th anniversary of Alzheimer’s Tea Day the most successful yet,” she said.
