At Alzheimer’s Society we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future.
We’re here for everyone living with dementia
As a Society, we are made up of people with dementia, carers, trusted experts, campaigners, researchers and clinicians. We are the UK’s largest collective force of people with unparalleled knowledge and over 40 years of experience addressing the biggest challenges facing people living with dementia.
How we provide help and hope
Dementia support servicesThrough our support line, online and print information, expert dementia advisers and online community, we give advice and practical guidance for the next steps as people living with dementia navigate the hardest times of their lives. Through this vital work, we want people living with dementia to enjoy more fulfilled lives. From the moment someone is worried about memory loss they can turn to us for help.
Funding dementia research
As well as the vital help we provide, we bring hope. And we know investment in research is key if we want to change the landscape of dementia in the future. That’s why right now, we’re backing the world’s brightest minds and funding over 600 research projects to find the best ways to get early diagnosis, innovate care and develop targeted treatments.
Campaign action
We hold decision-makers to account, using evidence and working with thousands of campaigners to amplify the voices of everyone living with dementia to make dementia the priority it should be.
Together we are help and hope for everyone living with dementia
Our Help and Hope Strategy
Our bold and ambitious five-year framework of priorities which underpins all the work we do at the Society.
A changing world
For over 40 years, Alzheimer’s Society has been a powerful force for change, improving the lives of people living with dementia.
Over those crucial years we’ve nurtured our relationships with people living with the disease, to better understand the complexities of delivering support within a challenging health and social care system.
We’ve spent time listening to people who deal with the disease every day, and amplifying those voices to campaign governments for change.
We have also been at the forefront of science and research, backing the world’s brightest minds and funding life-changing breakthroughs.
In 2021, we prepared ourselves for a world that was once again changing, and developed a framework of priorities to bring about the seismic change so desperately needed. We call this framework our Help and Hope Strategy.
A strategy for change
Our five-year Help and Hope Strategy will help us make the biggest impact to people’s lives. We’re the only dementia charity to tackle every aspect of dementia and give help for today and hope for the future.
We give vital support to help people manage their condition today. We also give hope for the future by funding new treatments that could improve people’s quality of life, while also being the loudest voice campaigning for a better life for people living with dementia.
Four priorities
Our priorities are clear: to increase dementia diagnosis rates and build the mechanisms to get people seamless support.
We want to make sure we can do that for more people by having deep levels of involvement, co-designing and co-producing with people with dementia across the entire organisation.
