Campaign for change

Alzheimer Scotland works nationally and locally to make sure that nobody faces dementia alone.

How Alzheimer Scotland is campaigning for change

Everyone affected by dementia deserves to have their voice heard. That’s why we campaign hard for better services, fairer policies and greater awareness across Scotland.

We make sure that people who make decisions about policy, strategy, services, support and legislation see dementia as a priority and listen to people with personal experience when making the decisions which will impact them.

What we’re campaigning for

  • better access to diagnosis
  • expanded post diagnostic support
  • increased support for carers
  • a fair and equitable social care system

 

Charter of Rights

In 2009, a ‘Charter of Rights’ was created that set out to ensure that the rights of people with dementia and their carers are fully recognised at all levels of government and by individuals and non-governmental organisations. You can download a copy of this below.
