with Together Dementia Support
"Dementia Action Week is a national campaign to raise awareness, challenge stigma, and improve understanding of what it means to live with dementia. At Together Dementia Support, we see every day what people living with dementia are capable of when they have the right support. This year, our focus is simple: celebrating what people living with dementia can do.
Throughout the week, we’ll host a series of events that bring people together, showcase our members’ skills and creativity, and highlight the importance of accessible, community-based support."
- Sally Ferris, CEO of Together Dementia Support
