Thousands of children are suffering and dying slowly from dementia, most will die before they turn 18, some in infancy. One of the biggest problems: no one knows childhood dementia exists.
No family should have to watch their child suffer and die from dementia. If you agree, FACE it with us! Our FACE it campaign is all about making childhood dementia impossible to ignore.

Why it's time to FACE it
700,000 people are estimated to be living with childhood dementia today.
Around one in every 2,800 babies are born with a condition that causes childhood dementia. This is more than are born with well-known conditions like cystic fibrosis.
Every 11 minutes, someone dies from childhood dementia.
48,300 die each year. Sadly, around 75% of children with dementia have a life expectancy of under 18.
Most people haven't heard of childhood dementia
Families share with us that low levels of understanding can make it difficult to get a diagnosis or the right care and support.
There's not enough research
Research into treating or even slowing childhood dementia has been very limited. Researchers need support to focus on finding urgently needed treatments.

OR JUST HAVE FUN!
