Both Sara Davies and Vicky McClure MBE have been personally affected by dementia. They share some of their personal experiences and talk about why it’s so important to find ways to help keep you or your loved ones feeling both independent and safe when they are spending. @Sibstar

This Christmas, you may notice some differences to the messages between programmes on ITV. That’s because for the first time, we’ve partnered with ITV to run a special campaign from 23-31 December, and we’re thrilled that @ā€ŒRuthieeL will be the voice behind the campaign. (1/6)

We were pleased to welcome the Health Minister to our Belfast office today. With dementia cases in NI projected to rise by 51% by 2040, urgent action is needed. We look forward to working with Department of Health and the SPPG to drive transformation in dementia care and support.

🚨 Breaking news The new NHS England planning guidance published today contains nothing on dementia. Like you, we think that’s unacceptable. Dementia is a priority. Diagnosis is a priority. We cannot ignore the UK's biggest killer anymore. #DementiaDeservesDiagnosis

It’s unacceptable that dementia, including a diagnosis target, has been removed from NHS England planning guidance. We need to #MakeDementiaAPriority and that starts with diagnosis. Join Alzheimer's Society as a campaigner today if you agree: action.alzheimers.org.uk/page/141326/da…

Dementia, including a dementia diagnosis target, has been removed from the NHS Operational Planning Guidance. This is a step backwards and sends the message that dementia doesn't matter. #DementiaDeservesDiagnosis
