We are Scotland's dementia charity

A PHD student whose studies focus on dementia care is planning to take the plunge in a zip-slide across the Clyde to raise funds for Alzheimer Scotland.

When Connor McDonald’s Dad was diagnosed with dementia, he already had some experience of the condition as he cared for his Gran as a child back in 2006. Still, his Dad’s diagnosis came as a shock.

We are teaming up with Morrisons supermarkets in a nationwide fundraising appeal from Monday 15 – Sunday 21 May. Could you spare a couple of hours to make a difference? 

Many steps can be taken throughout life to lower our chances of developing dementia. Regular exercise and eating well are among a range of activities that have huge benefits for our brain health and Ross McNamee, a carer for his Mum, couldn’t agree more.
