Dementia Friends Posted or Updated on 6 Nov 2024

Alzheimer’s Society’s Dementia Friends programme is the biggest ever initiative to change people’s perceptions of dementia. It aims to transform the way the nation thinks, acts and talks about the condition.

Whether you attend a face-to-face Information Session or watch the online video, Dementia Friends is about learning more about dementia and the small ways you can help. From telling friends about the Dementia Friends programme to visiting someone you know living with dementia, every action counts.

Alzheimer’s Society offers lots of advice and support:

  • The Alzheimer's Society National Dementia Helpline 0300 222 1122 can provide information, support, guidance and signposting to other appropriate organisations.
  • The Alzheimer’s Society website has lots of information, advice, fact sheets and other resources available: alzheimers.org.uk
  • You could visit Talking Point, Alzheimer’s Society’s discussion forum for anyone affected by dementia: forum.alzheimers.org.uk/forum.php
  • You can search for local services in your area here
