Children’s Dementia Art Competition

ByJDCteam

Dementia UK are planning their largest ever awareness campaign in 2024 and want to shine a light on how dementia impacts children by inviting all under-16’s to submit a piece of artwork which expresses how dementia affects them.  

Dementia UK will exhibit these pictures in a public space, on their social media channels and in the press alongside new research and resources being created by our Admiral Nurses.    

Children who want to take part have until midnight on 7 January 2024 to send in their artwork. Find out more here: https://www.dementiauk.org/news/enter-our-exhibition-to-show-how-dementia-impacts-children/
