How organisations can get involved

Organisations play a vital role in supporting people affected by dementia. We can support staff at your organisation to become Dementia Friends and make a difference for people affected by dementia.

There are a number of different resources to roll out Dementia Friends to your workforce. Our team can support you to find the best route for you.

We can also suggest further steps to have a real and meaningful impact for people affected by dementia. There are lots of ways your organisation can get involved, from volunteering to fundraising, and partnerships.

Please note: Dementia Friends Sessions are awareness raising sessions to inspire change for people with dementia. If your staff need more in-depth or specific training on dementia, find out more about all the external training Alzheimer’s Society offer.

Where do we start?

Register your organisation and we'll get in touch to let you know how you can create Dementia Friends and what else you can do to help people affected by dementia and support Alzheimer’s Society.

Hear what other organisations have said about becoming Dementia Friends

“I had a client in recently who came in for some advice about her son’s affairs as unfortunately he’d been diagnosed with dementia and I explained the bookcase and fairy lights analogies we learnt in the Dementia Friends Session. They found the information really helpful and I passed on the charity’s (Alzheimer’s Society) details on in case they needed anymore support. It’s great to be able to help our clients understand the effects of dementia.” - Will to Remember scheme Paralegal

“I will talk to all my colleagues, customers and suppliers about Dementia Friends and Alzheimer’s Society to raise awareness, encouraging them to get involved.” - Martin
