Alzheimer's Society

Registered Charity No. 296645.
The Alzheimer's Society is the UK's leading care and research charity for people with dementia
and those who care for them.
There are 700,000 people with dementia in the UK with numbers set to rise to one million
by 2025.
The Alzheimer's Society is a membership organisation, which works to improve the quality
of life of people affected by dementia in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Many of our 25,000 members have personal experience of dementia, as carers, health professionals
or people with dementia themselves, and their experiences help to inform our work.
The Society's fight for a better world for people with all types of dementia takes a wide range
of forms. Through our branches, we touch the lives of over 30,000 people every week, providing
practical services and support for people with dementia and their carers. Every year, more than
a million people make use of the information we provide.
Through campaigning and lobbying we strive to influence government policies and raise awareness
of the challenges faced by people with dementia and the people who care for them.
And through our research programme we work to improve the knowledge we have about dementia
and its treatment - and pursuing the ultimate goal of finding a cure.
People with dementia and their carers face discrimination and injustice every day.
They experience obstacles in accessing high quality care and services and they are discriminated against by the current system of charging for care.
People with dementia also face a general lack of understanding and ignorance about the disease that is so devastating.
That is why Alzheimer's Society campaigns so hard for a better deal for people with dementia and their carers. And this is why we need your support.
We can only break down barriers and improve the lives of people with dementia by putting pressure on key politicians and policy makers.
We need as many people as possible to get involved in our campaigns and help make a real difference to the lives of people with dementia.
