Making Every Memory Matter Together
Join the Movement: Making Every Memory Matter, Together.
To honour Dementia Awareness Week, Memory Matters invites you throughout 2025 to move beyond simply acknowledging dementia and step into a deeper realm of understanding and empathy. Our "Making Every Memory Matter Together" campaign, launching in May 2025, is a heartfelt commitment to the individuals and families whose lives are touched by dementia. We aim to illuminate their experiences, fostering a community where compassion thrives and early support becomes a reality.
Throughout the coming year, we will share the poignant and resilient stories of local people navigating the complexities of dementia. These are not just accounts; they are windows into lives that deserve to be seen, heard, and supported. Alongside these personal narratives, we will offer practical guidance and unwavering support for anyone affected by this condition.
Every week, across our platforms, we will issue gentle yet powerful reminders to see beyond the diagnosis, to encourage everyone to see the able, not the label. We are committed to dismantling the walls of stigma that isolate and diminish.
