This year remember the 44,000 people with Alzheimer’s disease by hanging special christmas tree memory ribbons in their honour.

This new campaign offers wonderful ways to keep important memories alive. Firstly by remembering a loved one with Alzheimer’s; and secondly by making a vital donation to ensure that Alzheimer’s services are there to help affected families when they need it. The Christmas memory ribbon has been designed to bear the name of and a dedication to loved ones who have, or had, Alzheimer’s disease. Based on the Alzheimer’s colours, the silver and purple themed ribbon is classic in style and easy to hang. The Alzheimer Society will display all dedicated ribbons on a Christmas memory tree in their facility in Blackrock, Co. Dublin. Families will receive a photo of the national tree as well as their own memory ribbon to hang at home.

Due to people living longer it is predicted that the number of people with dementia will increase from a current total of 44,000 to over 104,000 by 2036. Demand for the services provided by The Alzheimer’s Society of Ireland which includes day care, respite and home care continues to remain at an all time high with waiting lists of almost 1,000 families
