Almost all of us know someone affected by dementia. Too many people living with dementia report feeling cut off from their community, losing their friendships and facing dementia alone.
Having dementia doesn’t have to mean living an isolated life. Simple actions from us all can create supportive communities – where people living with the condition can continue to connect with others, get outside or take part in local activities.
Dementia Action Week (20th – 26th May) unites people, workplaces, schools and communities to take action and improve the lives of people living with dementia.
