World Alzheimer’s Month

World Alzheimer’s Month is an international campaign held every year during September.  

The campaign is a chance for everyone to come together to raise awareness of dementia and to address the stigma and discrimination that still exists around the condition.    

World Alzheimer’s Day takes place during the month on 21st September. 

Why does World Alzheimer’s Month matter?

Today, nearly one million people in the UK live with dementia. That’s almost a million families living with the condition. Yet too often their voices go unheard. 

This World Alzheimer’s Month we’re amplifying those millions of voices – people living with dementia, their carers, their families and their friends.

1. Campaign with us

With newly elected MPs across the UK, now is the time to show them the urgent need to fix dementia care and to secure their support.
