From May 18 to May 24.
What is Dementia Action Week?
Dementia Action Week, observed the week of May 18–24, is the Alzheimer's Society's annual UK-wide push to move dementia out of the 'awareness only' lane and into the action lane — funding, research, better care and stronger support for the families carrying the disease alongside the person who has it. First held in 1989 to mark the charity's 10th anniversary and renamed from Dementia Awareness Week in the 2000s, the week is built around practical asks: learn about the different forms of the disease, take part in local events, advocate for policy change, share stories on social media, and reach out to a caregiver. With millions of people living with dementia worldwide and no cure yet, the week's plain message — 'United against dementia' — is that the disease is too big for any of us to fight alone.
