The Society has a network of branches, support groups and carers' contacts covering England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Branches provide local information and support services to people with dementia and their carers.
They campaign for improved health and social services and greater public understanding of all aspects of dementia. Some branches provide day care services and support for people in the home. Carers support groups provide opportunities for carers of people with dementia to get together and meet people in the same situation. Carers' contacts are trained volunteers who provide support over the phone to carers who wish to talk to someone with knowledge about dementia and the responsibilities of caring. There are carers' contacts to support those caring for people with dementia under 65 years.
