Dementia Action Week

13th – 19th May 2024


According to the Alzheimer’s Society, one in three of us born in the UK today will go on to develop dementia in our lifetime, making dementia care one of the greatest challenges facing our society.  Dementia Action Week takes place every year in order to highlight the need for improved dementia care and to encourage people to take action to improve the lives of those affected by dementia.
