'A little understanding makes a big difference.'

This is the fifth thing we want everyone to know about dementia.

Dementia can be confusing and isolating. That’s why it’s important that everyone learns more about it.

Everyone’s experience of dementia is different but with a little understanding you can make the biggest difference. It could be as simple as waving to a neighbour or being patient in the shop queue. It’s just about
understanding and helping out where you can 💙
