Monday 19th – Sunday 25th May
Dementia Action Week is a national awareness campaign led by the Alzheimer’s Society.
It’s a time to come together to take action, raise awareness and improve the lives of people living with dementia and their carers.
💬 What Is Dementia Action Week About?
Every year, Dementia Action Week shines a spotlight on the importance of:
-
Understanding what it’s like to live with dementia
-
Encouraging early diagnosis and access to support
-
Reducing stigma and promoting inclusion
-
Inspiring individuals, organisations, and communities to act
No action is too small – a simple change in attitude or offering a helping hand can make a big difference.
