Host a Dementia Action Week event
Plan and host your event
Hosting an event is a great way to bring people together and get them talking about dementia. It doesn't need to be big or formal — a morning tea at home, a session at work, or a get-together with your community group all make a difference. Every event helps people living with dementia, their families and carers feel supported.
This page has ideas to get you started, practical resources to help you organise, a free resource pack you can order, and a way to add your event to our calendar so others can find it and come along.
Ideas for your event
However you choose to get involved, every event helps raise awareness for people living with dementia, and their families and carers.
Some ideas to get you started:

The right venue can make people living with dementia feel welcome, comfortable and able to fully take part. Download our venue checklist for tips on creating a dementia-friendly event.
- Connect with confidence
Our Let's Talk booklet has simple tips for talking with people living with dementia, so you and your guests can connect with confidence.

Music brings people together, and singing is something many people living with dementia can still enjoy. The Alchemy Chorus guide shows how to run a dementia-inclusive singalong or choir.
