People we have helped

Alzheimer's Support helps around 2,500 people every year in Wiltshire. There is no one-size fits all approach to the support we offer, and each person makes use of those services that suit them best at the time. Whether it is information, social contact, support to pursue a hobby or some time off for family carers, each family has their own story to tell.
