AnnotationBlack and minority ethnic (BAME) families are known to play a key role in providing social support and care for their older relatives: they 'look after their own'. There is evidence, though, that there are higher rates of vascular dementia and early onset dementia in this population, compared with UK White people. The author and colleagues describe how the organisation Culture Dementia UK works to raise awareness about dementia in the Afro-Caribbean and other UK minority ethnic communities, and to improve support through partnership working.
