'My grandma has dementia, but she's still my grandma and I love her and I know she loves me.' We love this cartoon strip that Tony Husband Cartoon Archive has shared for #CarersWeek. Tony, you're so passionate about raising awareness of dementia through your work - thank so much!

It's a common misconception that our badges are to help identify people living with dementia in public. In fact, a person might be wearing a forget-me-not badge because a loved one has dementia or to help raise awareness. Find out what they represent here: alzheimers.org.uk/blog/what-do-d…

Stigma about dementia still exists in all communities up and down the UK, but people within BAME communities often face particular challenges. Dementia is not a normal part of ageing; it’s caused by physical diseases. It's not something to be ashamed of. Let's get talking.

People with dementia refuse care in hospital because of how it’s delivered. Structured environments/routines make it difficult for people with dementia to communicate concerns. Ward staff shouldn’t assume resistant behaviours are always due to dementia 👇 discover.dc.nihr.ac.uk/content/signal…

'You don't look like you've got dementia!' People living with a diagnosis regularly tell us they experience similar, thoughtless comments. These are a form of stigma. This #WorldAlzheimersMonth, we want to educate those who think dementia is a joke. bit.ly/2m4Tdty
