Dementia Action Week, 18th-24th May 2026

Monday 18th May 2026

Dementia Action Week, which takes places from 18th - 24th May, is an awareness campaign led by Alzheimer’s Society, bringing people and organisations together to act on dementia.

This year, we're encouraging everyone to join the Forget Me Not Appeal. Behind each Forget Me Not badge, there are stories of lives devastated by dementia and when we all wear the badge together, it becomes a movement of hope, action and unity.
