How else can I help?

Alzheimer’s Society’s Dementia Friends initiative was launched in March 2013 to give as many people across England an understanding of dementia and some of the actions we can all take to help those living with the condition.

There are two ways to become a Dementia Friend. The first is to attend a face-to-face Information Session in your community. Alternatively, you can become a Dementia Friend by watching our online video.

If you want to do more, then consider volunteering as a Dementia Friends Ambassador and help to inspire more people to become Dementia Friends.

You could also encourage your colleagues to join Dementia Friends, we work with all types of organisations from large to small across the private, public and third sector and support them to roll out Dementia Friends to their workforce.

Other ways to get involved include: 

• Follow Dementia Friends on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
• Sign up to the Dementia Friends e-newsletter.
• Read the Dementia Friends blog
• Find out more about Alzheimer's Society's Dementia Friendly Communities programme
