About Alzheimer's Society
Alzheimer's Society is here for everyone affected by dementia.
By 2025, an estimated 1 million people will be living with the condition in the UK, and many millions more carers, partners, families and friends will be affected.
Dementia is a complex condition, and there's no one-size fits all solution but until we find a cure, our aim is to transform lives today.
We do this by:
- Providing flexible support services so that people with dementia, their carers and loved ones, can access expert advice and guidance, support through their most challenging days, and a safe space to turn when they need it.
- Being a force for change - using research and influencing to push for breakthroughs that will change the lives of people affected by dementia now and in future.

Trusted expert: We're listening, we're learning and we use experience and evidence.
