We're off to #LondonTechWeek next week and couldn't be more excited.

We know what you're thinking - "Why are Alzheimer's Society going to London Tech Week?"

Well, you might not know that we have an incredible innovation team working with exceptionally talented innovators and entrepreneurs to develop solutions that can improve the lives of everyone affected by dementia.

So, we’re thrilled to be exhibiting at the event for the very first time, bringing the challenges of dementia to the heart of the UK’s biggest tech stage.

Under the banner “Dementia devastates lives. Innovation transforms them,” our stand will showcase a powerful mix of immersive experiences, cutting-edge products, and bold ideas.

We're not just there to exhibit, we're there to inspire the tech community to join us in making dementia a priority.

Come visit our stand and let’s build a future where no one faces dementia alone.

There’s a story behind every Forget Me Not.

Is it acceptable that a third of people with dementia don’t even get a diagnosis?

Why does it take over three years for someone to get a diagnosis after symptoms start?

Why do thousands of people have to spend around £100,000 for dementia care over their lifetime? 1/3

Tonight ⏰

Anna Richardson: #LoveLossAndDementia. A new documentary on the devastating impact dementia is having on families across the UK.

‘I tried to put brandy sauce on the turkey. So there’s a bit of mickey-taking from the family - it lightens the fact that I forget what went with what.’ Anita’s life has changed a lot since she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia when she was 50. (1/2)

Asking the same question, over and over again. It’s not called getting old, it’s called getting ill.

'For me, having a diagnosis helped because I finally understood what was going on and my family could too. If anyone is struggling like I was or worried they might have dementia... don’t ignore it or struggle on your own.' https://t.co/pjjcK9sF4m #DAW2022

PM @BorisJohnson announced he's scrapping free Covid tests for people visiting loved ones in care homes. These are crucial for protecting care home residents, 70% of whom have dementia.

Ask your MP to protect free Covid testing for care home visitors https://t.co/cIUgmf1Doq

@mrnickharvey @alzheimerssoc This is so moving. What a special man, and a very special dad. ❤️ Needed a mascara warning though!

[Jenna Hopkinson @JennaHoppy]

@AlzSocCymru Morning Nigel, great to see you taking over this account and speaking about how you think social care needs to change. For many it can feel daunting to speak out. What would you say to encourage other people affected by dementia to have their say? #DAW2021

[Alzheimer's Society @alzheimerssoc]

Nearly 1 million families affected by dementia are struggling to get support from the UK’s broken social care system that they need & deserve.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

This #DAW2021, sign our petition and urge the Government to #CureTheCareSystem. https://t.co/lYF5kolsOy
