Dementia Action Week is a vital annual campaign that encourages individuals, communities, and organizations across the UK to take action in support of people affected by dementia. Led by the Alzheimer’s Society, this week-long event focuses on raising awareness, challenging stigma, and fostering a dementia-friendly society where those living with dementia can live well and feel understood and supported.
What is Dementia Action Week?

The week aims to bring communities together to improve the lives of those affected by dementia. Each year, a new theme highlights key issues, such as diagnosis, support services, or care challenges. The campaign works to educate the public, influence policy, and drive forward positive change through individual and collective action.

Dementia Action Week 2025 will take place from Monday 19th May to Sunday 25th May. The timing allows schools, workplaces, and community groups to get involved through events, workshops, and awareness-raising activities throughout the week.
