Past Events
Dementia Action Groups has proudly organised and participated in a range of community events focused on dementia awareness, education, inclusion, and social connection. Our events include memory cafés, guest speakers, workshops, awareness campaigns, and community expos that bring together people living with dementia, carers, families, service providers, and the wider community. We are also committed to supporting culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities through initiatives including Spanish and Arabic dementia workshops that help improve understanding, reduce stigma, and increase access to support.

Dementia Forum
Blue Mountains April 2026
The Dementia Forum- Blue Mountains was the first community dementia forum of its kind in the region, bringing together over 100 attendees for a day focused on awareness, education, and connection. Supported by our local council, the event featured more than 7 information stalls from local organisations and service providers, helping connect the community with valuable dementia supports, resources, and services.
Neuroscience Next
February 2026
In February, Dementia Action Groups were proud to participate in the AAIC Neuroscience Next Conference as lived experience speakers, sharing personal and community perspectives on dementia. Neuroscience Next is a global Alzheimer’s and dementia conference led by the Alzheimer’s Association that supports the next generation of researchers, clinicians, and dementia leaders through education, collaboration, and lived experience engagement. Our participation helped ensure the voices of people impacted by dementia remained part of important conversations around research, inclusion, and community support.
Dementia Workshops
Arabic/Spanish
Dementia Action Groups is committed to making dementia education more accessible for culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. We have successfully delivered dementia education workshops in both Spanish and Arabic, helping community members access information, reduce stigma, and better understand dementia in their own language and cultural context.
