There are over 700,000 people with dementia in the UK, and more and more people are diagnosed each year. Although there is as yet no cure for dementia, good support networks can make the world of difference to people with dementia and their families. Alzheimer Scotland is Scotland's leading specialist dementia charity helping people with all kinds of dementia, their families and carers, and campaigning to improve public policies. We provide practical services around Scotland including day care, home support, counselling and support groups. From our central office Edinburgh, we produce a wide range of information leaflets about research, drug treatments, service options and other caring issues. We also run a confidential freephone 24-hour Helpline.
Donations can be made to any UK-registered national/local charity or recognised good cause, such as places of worship, schools, or scout groups.
You can nominate more than one charity to benefit from your donations, and you can easily change the amount or nominated charities at any time. If your chosen charity is not listed on this site, you can still support them. Just make sure to include their charity number so there is no delay in forwarding your donation. Please contact us via the live chat on the bottom left of your screen if you have any questions.
