World Alzheimer’s Day

World Alzheimer’s Day, celebrated on September 21st, is an important part of World Alzheimer’s Month, dedicated to raising awareness about Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. It’s a day to call for more research, education, and support for this condition, which affects memory, thinking, and behaviour. Charities, organisations, and governments use the day to talk about the impact of the disease and encourage everyone to show more understanding and support for those affected, whether directly or indirectly.


Did you know that over 900,000 people in the UK are living with dementia, and that number is expected to rise as the population ages? This makes it more important than ever to create accessible environments and support systems that help improve the quality of life for those affected. There are many ways to get involved-whether by donating to research, volunteering with local support groups, or simply having open conversations about the realities of dementia to increase awareness.
