Tea Day to brew up some golden moments for home carers

IF, as the advertisement says, every day should have its golden moments, then May 5 has the potential to host more than a few for carers of dementia patients.

The Alzheimer’s Society of Ireland yesterday launched its Lyons Tea Day calling on people to down tools and support signed-up Tea Day hosts when breaking for elevenses.

“If we all take time for a cuppa ... we can give carers a break,” was the message from the society, which hopes to raise over €600,000 on national Tea Day.
