2015 Merry Christmas From the Dementia Cafe TLS / Bear No Judgement Campaign

We would like to wish everyone an advanced Merry Christmas from the Dementia Cafe in this December issue of the village magazine.

As the TLS Christmas Festival approaches we hope to see all of you for the evening of the 4th December and invite you to come and meet us.

We’ll be selling some hand made items such as the animal jars (photographed); Ideal for stocking fillers! (All profits go to the Dementia Cafe.)

We would also like to take the opportunity to introduce you to our upcoming campaign that we’ll be launching across social media: #BearNoJudgement.

So many individuals with Alzheimer’s Disease take comfort from stuffed animals, bears or dolls. One case study tells of a man, who was once the CEO of a large corporation, now lives with Alzheimer’s Disease and finds comfort in playing with dolls. Teddy bears are often hugely popular too. As such, we decided to launch our campaign, encouraging others to be brave and snap a selfie with their favourite teddy bear, adding the hash-tags: “BearNoJudgement” & “DementiaCafeTLS” to show support and awareness of dementia. I’ve snapped myself with my bear to start everyone off. (photograph). Dementia Cafe has partnered up with a New York based fashion brand to bring the Dementia Cafe’s supporters the chance to win free merchandise by posting their teddy selfie, liking and sharing our page. The campaign will be going live across our social media, so stay tuned for further information.

Have a lovely Christmas, from: Emily-Jane (Founder) and the Dementia Cafe team.
