The Alzheimer's Society says:This year’s campaign will run from 16-22 May and the theme is diagnosis.

Our research shows that the misconception around memory loss being a sign of normal ageing is the biggest barrier to people seeking a dementia diagnosis.

With diagnosis rates falling to a five-year low, we want to encourage those who might be living with undiagnosed dementia to come to us for guidance and support and feel empowered to take the next step.

Getting a diagnosis can be daunting, but we believe it’s better to know. And so do 91% of people affected by dementia.

Become a Dementia Friend: https://www.dementiafriends.org.uk/

A Dementia Friend is somebody that learns about dementia so they can help their community by taking actions - both big and small.These actions don’t have to be time-consuming. From visiting someone you know with dementia to being more patient in a shop queue, every action counts! Dementia Friends can also get involved with things like volunteering, campaigning or wearing a badge to raise awareness.

Organisations can become Dementia Friends. We can help your organisation to become Dementia Friends and take action for people affected by dementia, no matter how large or small your organisation is or which sector you are in. Use the link above to register your organisation's details with us. We'll then be in touch with you to find out more about you and how we can help.
