1 Million Squares for Dementia
One Square. One Story. One Million Acts of love.
Dementia affects over 55 million people worldwide. According to Alzheimer’s Society, UK, there are approximately one million people living with dementia in the UK of which a third of them are undiagnosed. Most importantly, dementia is now, the biggest killer in the UK.
Dementia Sphere invites you to crochet or knit 4-inch squares dedicated to someone living with dementia or in memory of someone who has passed. Each square tells a story. Together, we will create 1 million squares – a powerful symbol of love, memory and unity.
The 1 Million Squares project is conceived by Dementia Sphere, a UK based initiative whose vision is to create a platform for caring, sharing and hope. It is a resource for carers, families and those involved in dementia, and eventually, create communities globally.
Don’t know how to crochet or knit? No problem. Dementia Sphere has links to tutorials. You don’t need to be an expert. You just need heart.
