Dementia affects every community. It is one of the UK’s biggest health and social care challenges and it does not discriminate.

The current focus on neighbourhood health services is an opportunity to rethink how people with dementia can be supported to live healthier and more active lives for longer.

We know that a strong sense of community support and access to healthcare services can make a significant difference - both to those with a dementia diagnosis and the friends and families supporting them.

Key to this is a local community and health and care workforce that has the right knowledge about dementia to provide a safe and supportive neighbourhood for individuals to live in.
