One in three of us who live to 65 will have some form of dementia before we die.

The Design Council and the Department of Health want you to rethink life with dementia. A million people in the UK will be living with the condition by 2021. But there’s a difference between simply living and living well.

They are challenging you to make the lives of people affected by dementia better.
