Each May, communities across the UK come together to mark Dementia Action Week, a national campaign led by the Alzheimer’s Society that encourages everyone to act on dementia and support people affected by memory loss and dementia. This year, Dementia Action Week takes place from Monday 18th to Sunday 24th May 2026.
Here at Minehead Dementia Action, we’ll be organising local awareness events and activities throughout the week to bring people together, celebrate community spirit, and highlight the importance of understanding and inclusion for people living with dementia and their carers. These events are a great opportunity to connect, learn and show support – whether you’re living with dementia, caring for someone, or simply want to help raise awareness. Check back here regularly for updates on our events and full programme details as they’re confirmed.
Dementia affects thousands of families across the UK, and every small action helps create a more supportive and understanding community. Whether it’s learning about dementia, becoming a Dementia Friend, or starting a conversation, your involvement makes a difference. Be sure to like and follow us on Facebook (search Minehead Dementia Action) to stay up to date with the latest announcements, event updates and ways you can get involved.
