Jon Snow and his wife Precious Lunga experienced first-hand the importance of an early and accurate diagnosis.

Now they’re supporting our call to the Government for a bold and ambitious plan for dementia.

For too long, people living with dementia, and their families and carers, have not been prioritised.

Join Jon and Precious.

Sign our open letter to call on the Government to improve diagnosis and treatment for people living with dementia https://t.co/EP5gfciVvv

‘Dementia is the thing the public worry about the most. It’s like an elephant in the room.’

The words of Baroness Casey advocating for more decisive action on dementia to today’s Health and Social Care Committee.

Echoing Baroness Casey’s position, our CEO, Michelle Dyson, said:

'Despite being the UK’s biggest killer, people living with the condition still face fragmented care, long waits for diagnosis and inadequate support. This is something we would never accept for conditions like cancer or heart disease, and we firmly agree with Baroness Casey that progress desperately needs to be driven by UK government.

‘The Modern Service Framework for Dementia and Frailty is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to change this and build a future where dementia no longer devastates lives. But as it stands, the current direction does not match the scale of the challenge or set out the level of change needed to truly improve the lives of people living with dementia, now and in the future.’

‘We must now see a bold, credible plan for dementia care that will deliver real change for the nearly one million people living with dementia and their families.’

If, like us, you want our leaders to seize this opportunity to change the story of dementia, please sign our open letter to the government demanding that the Modern Service Framework delivers the bold action everyone affected by dementia needs.

⚠️ Red and Amber weather warnings for extreme heat have been issued for many parts of the UK until midnight on Thursday June 25.

People living with dementia are likely to be more vulnerable in hot weather, and with potentially record-breaking temperatures on the way, it's vitally important to take extra caution.

If you’re supporting someone with dementia, here are a few things that can help:

Make sure the person is dressed appropriately. Try light-coloured, loose-fitting clothes made from natural fibres.

Keep the house as cool as possible. Keep curtains or blinds closed during the day - especially in south-facing rooms. In the evening, open the windows to let the warm air out and the colder air in.

Avoid the midday sun. Stay out of the sun during the hottest part of the day (between 11am and 3pm). Seek out plenty of shade and reapply sunscreen regularly when out.

Find ways to cool off. Help them take a cool bath or shower. Place a washcloth and some iced water nearby to dab themselves with.

Stay hydrated. Leave beakers or jugs of water within easy reach. Provide high-water-content foods like ice lollies, jelly, ice cream, soup, and fruit such as melon.

Ask friends and neighbours to pop in and check the person is ok if you don’t live near them. Perhaps the visitor could stay, have a drink with the person, and make sure the person has everything they need.

📢 Please share so we can keep everyone living with dementia safe in the heat.

This is such a powerful, emotional film. Gut-wrenching to see Jon’s brilliant mind so ravaged by this awful disease, but his remarkable courage, and that of his wife Precious, is remarkably inspiring too.
