Scottish Dementia Working Group

The Scottish Dementia Working Group (SDWG) is a national campaigning group, run by people with dementia.  They are the independent voice of people with dementia within Alzheimer Scotland. 

The SWDG campaigns to improve services for people with dementia and to improve attitudes towards people with dementia.

The Group meets regularly to support each other and find ways to improve services and attitudes.   

To become a member of the Group:

The Group welcomes anyone living in Scotland who is diagnosed with dementia or a related condition.  The only requirement is that you would like to meet with other people with dementia to discuss things that really matter to you.

Some people bring a supporter with them to assist them to attend meetings, such as a family member or paid carer.
