Many people living with dementia rely on the love, support, and care of family members, friends, and unpaid carers. The 14th of September is National Dementia Carers Day, founded by SweetTree Home Care Services and the Alzheimer’s Society, was established to recognise, and support this crucial role. 

These carers go above and beyond, showcasing a blend of compassion, empathy, and strength that touches the hearts of those they care for. They navigate the unpredictable challenges with patience and understanding, making a profound difference in the lives of those they support. 

Through their unique and heartfelt care, these exceptional caregivers find a way to connect with individuals facing cognitive difficulties. On this National Dementia Carers Day, let’s come together to celebrate and honour these remarkable souls.  

They often work behind the scenes, so it’s a great opportunity to recognise and thank them for all they do. As we appreciate these caregivers, let’s also remember the importance of supporting them with resources and understanding. Their work is invaluable, and we can all play a part in supporting them. 

How To Get Involved: 

• Share: We want to hear about the unique ways in which you, or a carer you know, supports someone living with dementia. All of the submissions that they receive will be read by representatives from SweetTree Home Care Services and may be shared as part of the NDCD campaign. 

• Recognise: NDCD want to hear how you plan to recognise a dementia carer/s you know. Are you planning on sending someone flowers? Cooking someone their favourite meal? Holding a dementia awareness event? 

• Support: Display the National Dementia Carers’ Day logo on your company website, notice board, or event invitations. Download the logo below, or simply use the hashtag #NDCD2025 when posting your messages of support on Facebook or Twitter.
