Dementia Action Week is an awareness campaign led by Alzheimer’s Society, bringing people and organisations together to act on dementia.

This year, we're encouraging everyone to join the Forget Me Not Appeal.

Behind each Forget Me Not badge, there are stories of lives devastated by dementia and when we all wear the badge together, it becomes a movement of hope, action and unity.

A visible reminder that it will take a society to beat dementia.
