๐ WORLD ALZHEIMERโS MONTH 2026 ๐
This September, we will be inviting everyone to come together to raise awareness, share information and help our community understand dementia better.
Throughout the month, our team will be encouraging everyone to talk about dementia, ask questions, connect with others and learn how we can all make a difference.
๐ฃ Dementia Information Sessions๐
Weโll be hosting 2 open community dementia information sessions this month. Thereโs no booking required โ just come along! These sessions are being hosted by local businesses who have joined their local Dementia Friendly Community, helping to make our communities more welcoming and supportive for people living with dementia and their carers.
๐ค Celebrating Dementia Friendly Middlesbrough๐
Weโll also be celebrating the amazing local organisations and businesses who have pledged their support to people affected by dementia. Becoming dementia friendly is about understanding dementia, reducing stigma and making sure people can continue to feel included and connected in their community.
๐ง Early diagnosis matters๐
Weโll be sharing some information posts throughout the month looking at the benefits of early diagnosis and why getting the right support sooner can make such a positive difference.
So this month, why not:
๐ Share our dementia awareness posts
๐ Attend one of our community information sessions
๐ Connect with carers and hear their experiences
๐ Learn more about dementia
๐ Join your local Dementia Friendly Community
Together, we can create communities where people affected by dementia feel understood, supported and included. ๐
