On 20 May 2026, an incredibly moving and historic ceremony took place in Warsaw. The Ombudsman honoured Alzheimer Polska (Alzheimer Poland) with a prestigious honorary award. This is the highest distinction, awarded for the organisation’s long-standing fight for the dignity, safety, and rights of people living with dementia and their families. The Ombudsman called the Alzheimer Polska movement in Poland "the guardian and defender of human dignity."
Alzheimer Polska commented:
“This distinction brings us all great pride, but also a great commitment to continue working on behalf of those whose voices are sometimes too little heard. Congratulations to all the organizations involved in supporting people with Alzheimer's. Together, we are building a world of understanding."
