There needs to be more support with those for Young Onset Dementia. Hopefully this is the start of getting the word out there even more. Thanks so much to the team at Look North and @dementiaforward for being so brilliant ❤️

Young Onset Dementia (YOD) affects around 70,000 to 80,000 people in the UK. It refers to dementia diagnosed under the age of 65 and often brings different challenges, such as continuing to work or raising a family.

Today is @dementiaforward Young Onset Dementia Awareness Day 💙 When someone is diagnosed with dementia before 65, life can change in an instant. This film, funded by @RareDementia, shows the difference the charity funded support group makes: youtu.be/8bN7i6lb78E

We had a fantastic time at @dementiaforward’s conference yesterday. We loved having an opportunity to chat to people about the Young Dementia Network & young onset #dementia. We were delighted to catch up with @sazza773, one of our Network steering group members & @SophieDodswort3, Admiral Nurse for Young Onset Dementia at @DementiaUK. 🤩

You may remember that last year we asked our members to share their experiences of young onset #dementia, and asked questions around diagnosis, the symptoms that most affect daily life and the impact of the condition on the person and their family.
We have collated some of the replies into a short animation which shares our members’ experiences in their own words. Please share and use it and our other animations freely.

This is a wonderful opportunity for families with young children where a parent has #dementia to express an interest in taking part in a @DementiaAdv supported holiday during October half term. Find out more 👇
Dementia Adventure are planning a special supported holiday for the 2025 October half term for up to four families, where a parent is living with dementia and there are young children at home.
