Today, MPs across the UK will debate the current state of #dementia care in Parliament.
Together, Dementia UK supporters urged 95% of MPs across the UK to attend. Thank you. 💙
Watch @CarolineVoaden explain why she is leading this vital debate and showing her support for people affected by dementia.

Thank you for your support @ChrisBloore!
One in two of us will be affected by dementia, either though diagnosis, caring for someone, or both. Next week’s debate on dementia care is an opportunity to speak up for families affected, and call on the government to improve access to specialist care @DementiaUK

When a family member is diagnosed with dementia it can be an incredibly distressing time. That's why the work that Dementia UK do is so important.
It was great to meet with the charity again to hear about the amazing work they do and the importance of transforming dementia care.
