Dementia is a progressive, degenerative condition that affects not only the person living with it but their friends and families as well. It affects over 55 million people worldwide and this number is expected to continue to rise over the coming years largely due to an ageing global population and increased life expectancy. Dementia Action Week seeks to inspire action to improve the lives of people affected by dementia, empowering people to take meaningful steps towards change.
