38 Q U A R T E R P A G E A D V E R T S C O S T J U S T £ 3 0 Dementia Action Week Four ways to get involved in Northampton Alzheimer’s Society’s Dementia Awareness Week has been renamed as Dementia Action Week. It takes place from 21-27 May 2018 and Alzheimer’s Society is calling on everyone in Northampton to unite today and plan actions, big or small, to make a huge difference to people affected by dementia. There are more 8000 living with dementia in Northamptonshire and too many face the condition alone without adequate support. Here are four ways you can get involved in 2018: Become a Dementia Friend Alzheimer’s Society’s Dementia Friends programme allows people to learn a little bit more about what it's like to live with dementia and then turn that understanding into action. To get involved you can either find your nearest Dementia Friends Information Session - a fun, interactive session that covers five key messages through activities and discussion - or watch an online video. The growing dementia movement has already seen nearly two million people become Alzheimer’s Society Dementia Friends. To find your nearest session, visit dementiafriends.org.uk. Get involved on social media Whether you are planning your own fundraising event, attending a Dementia Friends Information Session or have a unique action to help make a difference, Alzheimer’s Society wants to hear about it. Share what you are planning on social media by using #DAW2018. You can ‘like’ or ‘follow’ your local Alzheimer’s Society pages at facebook.com/AlzheimersSocietyEastMid lands or twitter.com/alzsocemidlands.

L O W C O S T A D V E R T I S I N G F O R A L L 39 Join dementia research In the UK, one person develops dementia every three minutes and almost everyone knows someone whose life has been affected. There hasn’t been a new drug for dementia in 15 years. But since 2013, the number of clinical trials for Alzheimer’s drugs has doubled. Alzheimer’s Society will continue to drive forward research for effective treatments for dementia and – ultimately – a cure. Unite against dementia and sign up to take part in research, visit alzheimers.org.uk/joindementiaresearch. Spread the news This year’s Dementia Action Week theme is community change and we want to see a big impact in Northampton. People with dementia and carers have shared actions with us that will make a difference - helping them to feel included in their communities and able to live the lives they want. Be a part of this and get your family, friends or work colleagues to sign up and be the first to hear more about the week.
