Alzheimer's Society Dementia Support Forum
Alzheimer's Society is the UK's leading dementia charity. We are here to support anyone with memory issues from the time they become worried about their memory, through obtaining a diagnosis and then living with their condition. We help people to find ways to cope with memory issues we provide information, support and guidance and a listening ear to those who need it.
Direct support for people worried about their memory or affected by dementia:
- Our Dementia Support team offer practical guidance to help you understand the condition, cope with day-to-day challenges and prepare for the future.
- Our pre-assessment support team can provide information and help to anyone either worried about their memory or waiting for a diagnosis.
- Our Intense Support Team will provide support to carers struggling to cope or in crisis
- We provide a range of virtual groups and courses for both people with Dementia and carers.
