The Facts

It is estimated that currently in the UK over 982,000 people are living with dementia, and this number is expected to grow to 1.7 million by 2040. This statistic only scratches the surface of the impact of dementia, a disease that brings life-changing consequences not only for those diagnosed but also for their families, friends, and the broader community. As we look towards improving dementia care, initiatives like dementia active centres are essential in providing support. Furthermore, ensuring that dementia doors are accessible can significantly enhance the quality of life for those affected.
