Dementia Action Day

Dementia Action Week 2026 runs from Monday, 18 May to Sunday, 24 May 2026.
Led by the Alzheimer's Society, this annual national campaign unites individuals, communities, and workplaces to improve the lives of people affected by dementia.
Richard Finch visited the flagship event in Newcastle’s Grainger Market to speak to some of the organisations and charities that had come together with dedicated stalls, activities, and information.
