Stand with people living with dementia

Dementia is the biggest health and social care issue of our time, it’s the UK’s biggest killer, and yet it isn’t the priority it needs to be. This is the UK’s forgotten crisis. Will you join us to make dementia a priority? 

What we're campaigning for

‘It was only when I really put my foot down, after seven months of waiting for a social services assessment and Mum ending up in hospital, that Mum’s care finally began to move forward – and still our savings are disappearing fast.’

How you can get involved

Campaigning with us means helping to influence the people who make decisions across the UK. It means raising your voice, and calling to make dementia a priority, again and again and again.

There are lots of ways you can get involved:

Together, we have:

  • Shared lived experience of dementia with over 150 politicians across the nations, fuelling conversations about diagnosis with key decision-makers during Dementia Action Week in 2024. Following our event the then Shadow Minister for Social Care, Andrew Gwynne MP, committed Labour to increasing the dementia diagnosis rate target in Parliament. You can watch his comments here.
  • Campaigners in England, Northern Ireland and Wales have sent welcome letters to Government Ministers in Westminster, the Northern Ireland Assembly and the Senedd – putting dementia on the agenda across the three nations.
  • Following our engagement, the planning body for adult social care (Skills for Care) recommended that all social care staff in England should have mandatory dementia training aligned to the Dementia Training Standards Framework.

We still need your support

Become a campaigner to help people living with dementia today, and in the future.
