Last year Dementia UK launched a competition inviting children to submit artwork that described their experiences of dementia https://journalofdementiacare.co.uk/childrens-dementia-art-competition. 

Some of the entries are now on display in a pop-up exhibition in London’s Paternoster Square, City of London, EC4M 7DX. 

The exhibition runs from Monday 11 March to Sunday 17 March 2024, and is being staffed during working hours by Dementia UK volunteers. 

You can also spot the artwork across digital displays in Manchester and Birmingham, as well as other parts of London.
