Summit Week · 16–22 November 2026

One week. Many places. One shared agenda.

Locally led activities across the Caribbean and the diaspora, connected online and brought together at an Anchor Day in Jamaica. Free to attend.

How the week works

The Summit goes where people are

  1. Local hosts

    Organisations in each country run activities shaped by local priorities.

  2. Brain Health Relay

    Community groups, professional bodies and diaspora networks each host an hour.

  3. Online sessions

    Connect people across islands and time zones.

  4. Anchor Day

    Turns what the region said into next steps for 2027 and beyond.

Four streams

Four ways the week comes together

  • Anchor Day

    Families, carers, clinicians, employers and policymakers in one conversation in Jamaica. Date and venue to be announced.

  • Country Weeks

    Activities led by Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, the Cayman Islands and The Bahamas.

  • Brain Health Relay

    Faith groups, schools, clubs and carers’ groups each host an hour, passed from one community to the next.

    Host a Relay hour
  • Online and Diaspora

    Sessions open to anyone, anywhere, and activities hosted by diaspora communities in the UK, the US, Canada and beyond.

    What was agreed, and what comes next

  • A training session

  • A talk at your place of worship or school

  • A radio segment

  • A walk

  • An hour of the Brain Health Relay
