Alzheimer Scotland is Scotland’s national dementia charity. We aim to make sure nobody faces dementia alone. We provide support and information to people with dementia, their carers and families, we campaign for the rights of people with dementia and fund vital dementia research.


Our mission is to make sure that nobody in Scotland faces dementia alone.


Our vision is a future where dementia doesn’t exist.


Our goals are to prevent dementia by empowering people to look after their brain health, continue to care for as many people as we can who are living with dementia and to help find a cure by funding research and campaigning for people to have access to any treatments available.

You can join us and show your support as either a Company Member or a General Member. Membership is open to anyone who shares our mission, vision, and goals. Membership is free, but if you are able to make a donation, we warmly welcome your support.

Become a Company Member

(Open to individuals only)

Scotland you can vote at the Annual General Meeting and have oversight of our strategy. Alzheimer Scotland is a ‘company limited by guarantee’ which means there are no shareholders - instead it was established to further its charitable purposes. Company Members have a role similar to that of a shareholder but are not entitled to share in the surplus of Alzheimer Scotland as that surplus is used for charitable purposes.


Company Members have certain rights and duties to oversee the activities of Alzheimer Scotland and are liable for the debts of the charity, should it fold, up to a limit of £1 for each member. You will be asked to renew your company membership every 3 years.
