About this event

Dementia Action Week (15-21 May) is an awareness raising campaign. Each year, The Alzheimer’s Society works with individuals and organisations across the UK to encourage people to ‘act on dementia’.

In 2022, Dementia Action Week encouraged people who are concerned that they or someone they know may be experiencing dementia symptoms to seek further help. We provided information on memory loss, advice on talking to the GP, and ways to cope with memory loss.  Throughout the week, we saw a 43% average increase in calls to our Dementia Connect support line from those seeking information and support.
