Dementia Awareness Week 19th - 25th May 2025

Dementia Action week is a vital annual campaign that aims to bring communities together to improve the lives of those affected by dementia.

This week long event focuses on raising awareness, challenging stigma and fostering a dementia friendly society where those living with dementia can live well and feel understood and supported.

Meet the team here at the Essence Service.

Dementia Awareness Matters

Nearly 1 million people in the UK are living with dementia with many more affected through caring for loved ones. Now more than ever raising awareness and taking action is more crucial than ever.

Early diagnosis and support can greatly improve quality of life, while increased understanding reduces isolation and stigma.

Here at the Essence Centre our activities are designed to help maintain cognitive function and improve social interaction.

As well as providing care and support for our clients we also provide training and support for our carers.

To find out more about how we can support you or someone you care for please telephone us at The Essence Centre
