Bringing Westminster Together for Dementia Action Week 2026
Dementia Action Week 2026: Bringing Our Community Together
At Home Instead Westminster, we are proud to play a leading role in the Westminster & Kensington Dementia Action Alliance (DAA), bringing together local organisations to create a more dementia-friendly community.
This year, Dementia Action Week (11–30 May 2026) has grown into a three-week programme of inclusive, dementia-friendly events across Westminster and Kensington & Chelsea.
A Community-Led Programme
Dementia Action Week is a true collaboration between:
- Cultural institutions
- Health and care services
- Community organisations
Together, we are working to:
- Raise awareness of dementia
- Improve access to support
- Help people live well with dementia
- Build a more inclusive community
This aligns with our shared priorities of prevention, early support, and community connection.
What’s On This Year
We have designed a balanced and accessible programme, learning from previous years by spreading events over three weeks and keeping sessions small and dementia-friendly.
🎭 Cultural Experiences
- Guided tours in museums and heritage venues
- Opera, music, and interactive performances
- Sensory and dementia-friendly exhibitions
🌿 Wellbeing & Community Activities
- Gentle walks and outdoor sessions
- Creative workshops and arts activities
- Social groups and shared reading
💻 Inclusive Online Sessions
- Online choir sessions for those unable to attend in person
- Activities designed for housebound participants
All events are free, welcoming, and designed with accessibility in mind.
What’s On This Year
Dementia Information Fair – Monday 18 May
A key highlight of the programme is our Dementia Information Fair at Kensington Town Hall (1:30pm – 4:30pm).
This is a fantastic opportunity to:
- Meet local dementia support organisations
- Access free health checks
- Get advice on care, legal and financial support
- Attend expert talks
The Fair is open to everyone and does not require booking.
Why This Matters
Most people living with dementia live at home, often relying on local services and community support.
Through the Dementia Action Alliance, we are working to:
- Make our communities more dementia-friendly
- Support carers and families
- Improve awareness and understanding
- Connect people to the help they need
At Home Instead Westminster, this mission is central to everything we do.

Whether you are:
- Living with dementia
- Supporting a loved one
- A professional or volunteer
