The Alzheimer’s Society popular campaign – Dementia Friends – has really helped put Dementia in the spot light. For years this progressive disease has been kept in the dark, almost like the worlds dirty secret. Research was few and far between and diagnosis came too late, if ever at all. It is so important to work together to change the worlds perception.

Becoming a Dementia Friend shows you care – helping you to understand the condition and take little steps to improve the lives of those around you with Dementia. With understanding comes patience and tolerance. Directing someone to the right bus stop, or helping someone find the right change may not seem like a big undertaking but for those with Dementia it can turn a bad day good.

There is currently over 300,000 people who have signed up to become a Dementia Friend – please do so too!
