Alzheimer Scotland

Alzheimer Scotland is Scotland’s national dementia charity. Our Mission is to make sure nobody faces dementia alone. We provide support and information to people with dementia, their carers and families, we campaign for the rights of people with dementia and fund vital dementia research.

We have Brain Health & Dementia Resource Centres in 26 different locations across Scotland. Those centres provide a safe and friendly environment for people with dementia and their carers to visit and take part in a wide variety of activity groups.

We are very proud of our 24 hour Freephone Dementia Helpline which provides information and emotional support to people with dementia, carers, families, friends and professionals.

Our network of Dementia Advisors provide information, advice or advocacy with issues relating to dementia and brain health.

£360 could fund our 24 hours of our Freephone Dementia Helpline. Since 1989, our Helpline has supported literally thousands of people with dementia, their partners, family and friends with information, sign posting or simply a much-needed chat with someone who can listen and understand.

'I would like to thank you so much for the enormous help you gave me fighting in our corner and never giving up for us. I couldn’t have done this without you and will never be able to express the gratitude for you. You are one in a million and I will never forget what you have done for us.'
