Dementia Action Week 2024
Dementia Action Week, taking place from 13-19 May 2024, encourages people across the UK to help support and enhance the lives of those affected by dementia. Highlighting the inadequacies of the social care system, especially during the pandemic, the Alzheimer's Society calls for government action to rebuild a fair, accessible, and affordable social care system. With dementia affecting millions, including 34.5 million people who know someone with the condition, the need for quality, easily accessible, and free care is crucial. The Alzheimer's Society emphasises the importance of a robust social care system to support dementia patients who rely on it.
