Dementia is full of surprises! I often wake up with a blog article, poem or story fully formed in my head, and I dash into my study to write it down before it slips away into the ether.

This is one of the ones that I managed to capture.

I hope you like it.

Being a dementia activist means raising awareness, fighting stigma, and advocating for better care and support for those affected by dementia. It involves educating communities, influencing policy, and sharing personal stories to humanize the condition. A dementia activist speaks up for those who may not be able to, pushing for dignity, understanding, and inclusion. They work to create a more compassionate world where people with dementia are respected and supported. Whether through campaigns, public speaking, or community work, dementia activists play a vital role in transforming fear and misunderstanding into empathy and action. Their work empowers change, one voice at a time.

So, how can you get involved?
