Dementia Awareness Campaign in Edinburgh Sparks Surge in Power of Attorney Plans
A dementia awareness campaign in Edinburgh led to a significant increase in people setting up power of attorney plans. The Dementia Trusts Planning Ahead campaign, launched during POA Month in 2026, resulted in a 56% rise in activity compared to February 2025. Local law firms, including Ralph Sayer, McDougall McQueen, Blackadders, and Balfour plus Manson, contributed to the cause by donating 10% of their power of attorney fees, raising over £7,000 for the charity. The campaign, which provided special training on dementia and decision-making capacity to lawyers, was hailed as a game-changer by the trusts leaders. With plans for Planning Ahead 2027 underway, the campaign demonstrates the potential of small steps to build significant protections for vulnerable families.
