We are delighted that Dame Barbara Windsor and her husband, Scott Mitchell, have joined Alzheimer’s Society as Ambassadors.

Watch the video below to find out why they are writing to the Prime Minister with us and are committed to standing with families affected by the dementia care crisis.

What is the problem with dementia care?

People affected by dementia typically spend £100,000 on their own care due to a system that is unfair, unsustainable and in need of urgent overhaul. We want to make sure that people with dementia are able to access the care they deserve, when they need it.

Every day, we are contacted by people with dementia and their families who are struggling to access the care they need. They experience stress, anguish and exhaustion in fighting for appropriate support. Our Fix Dementia Care campaign is aiming to address the issues with cost, quality and access with the care system that people with dementia face. 

Dementia can devastate lives. Trying to manage the condition is hard enough – families shouldn’t have to fight the system too. We need to see leadership to urgently address these challenges – so that care is good quality, easy to access and affordable.

We are standing with people affected by dementia by letting Boris Johnson know that the dementia care crisis cannot be ignored any longer.
