Dementia Awareness Day

Every September, people come together from all around the world to raise awareness and to challenge the stigma that persists around dementia. World Alzheimer’s Day is held on Saturday, 21st September and the Enfield Dementia Network has put together a programme of activities to raise awareness of dementia, kicking off on 1st September at the Palmers Green Festival.

 

Home Instead Enfield - Home Care & Live-in Care will be hosting a virtual dementia bus, so you can understand the experience of dementia.

Throughout the month, follow us for more posts of events and activities.

 

Download the leaflet 1 and leaflet 2 here on the various activities taking place.

 

This year’s World Alzheimer’s Month campaign ‘Time to Act on Dementia, Time to Act on Alzheimer's’ will focus on attitudes toward dementia and seeks to redress stigma and discrimination which still exists around the condition, while highlighting the positive steps being undertaken by organisations and governments globally to develop a more dementia friendly society.
