Dementia Action Week: Awareness and Inclusion

Sarah Burnett is raising money for Minehead Dementia Action
“Dementia Action Week”
Minehead Dementia Action is a small, volunteer-led charity supporting people living with dementia, memory loss, their families and carers across West Somerset. We believe that a diagnosis should never mean losing friendships, confidence or opportunities to take part in community life. Through regular social groups, activities, information, advice and community projects, we help people stay connected, supported and valued. Our work also extends beyond direct support. We raise awareness of dementia, encourage understanding, and work with local businesses, organisations and community groups to help create a more dementia-friendly West Somerset where everyone feels welcome and included. Every donation helps us continue providing welcoming activities, meaningful social opportunities and practical support for local people affected by dementia. As an independent local charity, funds raised stay within our community, helping us reach more people, reduce isolation and improve quality of life for those who need us most. Together, we are building a kinder, more understanding community where people living with dementia can continue to live well.

Story

This Dementia Action Week I want to help raise awareness and support the local work to help those with Dementia feel included in our community. Any amount you can give will make a difference!

I'm raising funds for Minehead Dementia Action, who support local people and aims to support inclusion in our community by volunteer led weekly activities, events and more - with no government support or huge funding sources of income.

Dementia Action Week is an awareness week that encourages people to better understand dementia, reduce stigma and help those affected feel more supported and included in their communities. It is also a chance to remind people that support is available and that no one should feel they have to face memory loss or caring responsibilities alone.
