Age Scotland's Early Stage Dementia Project

Age Scotland's Early Stage Dementia Project

Around 93,000 people in Scotland today are living with dementia and this number is forecast to increase over the next decade. Early diagnosis of the condition is crucial and can help prolong the quality of life for people living with dementia.

Funded by the Life Changes Trust, Age Scotland’s Early Stage Dementia team seeks to raise awareness of early stage dementia and the signs and symptoms of the condition.
