Alzheimer’s Tea Day ambassadors Bryan Murray and Úna Crawford O'Brien at the national launch of Tea Day.
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 this May and The Alzheimer’s Day Centre in Birr, Co Offaly will join the celebrations with Tea Day on Thursday, May 2nd 2024 at 2pm at the centre with the public welcome to attend to support the event. The 30th anniversary is a significant milestone as statistics show that at least 30 people in Ireland are diagnosed with dementia, every single day.
Claire Dolan, Birr Day Centre Manager, commented, “2024 marks the 30th anniversary of Tea Day and we are delighted to host Tea Day in Birr Day Centre to help support our services users, their families and carers.”
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 programmes, 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, 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.”
