Each year, Dementia Awareness Week (DAW) is held with the aim of raising awareness of dementia and helping improve the lives of people with dementia, their families and carers.
This year's Dementia Awareness Week will take place between 27 May and 2 June. Our theme this year is: Your voice, Your choice, Your future.
Each person living with dementia has their own unique story, and their needs, preferences and aspirations are as diverse as they are. At Alzheimer Scotland, we advocate for a care approach that enables people with dementia to live as well as they can for as long as they can. We care about your care. We believe that good care respects and embraces diversity, giving people the power and control to make choices that reflect who they are and what matters most to them - now and in the future. Good care looks different for everyone, and the best care is one that is tailored to the individual - your voice, your choice and your future.
Our Dementia Awareness Week content will be available here on our website and our social media channels.
