World Alzheimer’s Day

World Alzheimer’s Day, marked on September 21, is an important part of World Alzheimer’s Month, aiming to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. This global event stresses the need for more research, education, and support for this most common form of dementia – characterised by memory loss, impaired thinking, and behavioural changes. It’s a day for charities, organisations, and governments to shed light on the disease’s impact and encourage public understanding and support for those affected, both directly and indirectly.


This day underscores the importance of community unity in overcoming social stigma and fostering an empathetic, informed approach to care. Today we advocate for accessible environments and support systems, enhancing life quality and societal integration for those living with Alzheimer’s, and remember that Alzheimers and dementia do not discriminate and can affect any one from any culture or background.
