- Every 3 seconds, someone in the world develops dementia.
- In the UK, approximately 900,000 people currently live with dementia, and this number is projected to rise to 1.6 million by 2040.
- Globally, around 50 million individuals lived with dementia in 2019. This number is anticipated to surge to a staggering 139 million by 2040.
During our information session, we will explore the nature of dementia, shed light on its symptoms, and discuss the value of engaging in activities for individuals affected by this condition. This evening is designed to be open and informal, fostering an environment where questions and discussions are encouraged.
