Short profile:
Alzheimer's Society is the leading support and research charity for people with dementia, their families and carers.
There are 750, 000 people with dementia in the UK with numbers set to rise to one million by 2021.
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.
Detailed description:
Alzheimer's Society staff and volunteers provide both local information and over 2, 000 services across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to people affected by dementia in their communities. Our local services include day care and home care for people with dementia, as well as support and befriending services to help partners and families cope with the demands of caring. From Alzheimer's Café's and innovative 'singing for the brain' sessions to memory-book projects and group outings, our services provide both practical support and an essential point of human contact.
