Lives on Hold
Lives on Hold, an awareness campaign which we launched in 2020, shows how life for carers of people living with dementia is similar to living in lockdown for many months, and often years. As life begins to get back to a new kind of normal for most people, families living with dementia will see little change.
We know there are many thousands of families living with dementia who are unaware of the advice and support we can offer them through our Helpline and advice leaflets and videos.
We want to ensure that they are able to access the vital support that our dementia specialist Admiral Nurses provide.
