Dementia doesn’t just affect individuals – it impacts families, friends, and whole communities. 💙
This Dementia Action Week, let’s take a moment to learn the facts, raise awareness, and show support to those living with dementia.
Dementia affects us all.
Its cruelty overwhelms those living with it.
But It doesn’t just affect families and individuals with dementia.
It takes its toll on the economy, the NHS and our health and social care systems.
Did you know that?
Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer
In the UK someone develops dementia every 3 minutes.
1 in 3 people born in the UK today will go on to develop dementia in their lifetime
Around 1 million people in the UK are living with dementia.
1.8 million people in England provide care for someone with dementia
At least one in three people with dementia don’t have a diagnosis.
Only together can we beat dementia – by giving vital support to those who need it, funding groundbreaking research, and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be.
