Louth Day Centres to celebrate 30th Alzheimer's Tea Day
The Alzheimer Society of Ireland's Louth's Tea Day events take place on Saturday 11 May
The Alzheimer Society of Ireland (ASI) this May, is hosting the 30th Alzheimer’s Tea Day across Ireland, and The Alzheimer’s Day Centres in Drogheda and Dundalk will join the celebrations with Tea Day events in both centres on Saturday 11 May.
The Birches Day Centre in Dundalk and Treagh Lodge Day Centre in Drogheda will join the celebrations with a Tea Day event on Saturday 11 May from 11am to 2pm.
The 30th anniversary is a significant milestone as statistics show that at least 30 people in Ireland are diagnosed with dementia, every single day.
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. The ASI says that each person's 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, commented, “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.”
