Welcome to Dementia Sphere -

Dementia Sphere is launching its ‘1 Million Squares for Dementia Project’
One Square. One Story. One Million Acts of Love.
Dementia affects millions of families worldwide and approximately one million people in the UK.
Behind every diagnosis is a person, a name and a life full of memories.
Million Squares for Dementia
One Million Voices, One Shared Vision. Supporting people living with dementia and those who care for them.
About the project
According to the Alzheimer’s Society UK website, there are estimated to be a million people living with dementia in the UK, of which approximately 65% are diagnosed. It affects the lives of not only the person with the diagnosis but their families, friends, carers and loved ones.
The ‘Million Squares for Dementia’ project is a UK national community project conceived by Dementia Sphere. The aim is to create a million squares and dedicate them to someone you know who either lives with dementia or has passed away from the disease with a message of hope, recalling memories and a tribute to that person. In this way, we hope to build a mosaic of awareness, compassion and hope.
We are inviting you to crochet or knit one simple 4-inch square in any yearn, colour or pattern — dedicated to someone living with dementia or in memory of someone who has passed.
Together, we will create 1 million squares — a powerful symbol of love, remembrance, and collective action.

Dementia Sphere is about creating a space and platform where caregivers and family members of those living with dementia can seek information, advice and share experiences. Aside from my personal story on my mother and our journey with her Alzheimer’s Dementia, the overall objective is to share stories of others, including family members of other’s going through this journey, dementia advisors and other dementia professionals.
