Supporting Alzheimer Scotland
"Making sure no-one faces dementia alone" is the message of
Alzheimer Scotland, the first Scottish-focused charity we have supported with a charity dinner. This page says why we think their work is important and deserves support.
23 people are diagnosed with dementia every day in Scotland where there are now over 90,000 people with dementia - enough to fill Hampden Stadium one and a half times and expected to double within the next 25 years as the population ages. 1 in 3 people will die as a result of dementia.
Alzheimer Scotland aims to be the foremost provider of support services and information for people with dementia, their families and friends throughout Scotland and to be a leading force for change but needs our help to do this as it currently costs
