About Us

 

Alzheimer's Society is a membership organisation, which works to improve the quality of life of people affected by dementia in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Many of our 25,000 members have personal experience of dementia, as carers, health professionals or people with dementia themselves, and their experiences help to inform our work.


At the Peterborough branch we aim to give you support and information on all forms of dementia, and the sources of help available in Peterborough.  We cover the Greater Peterborough area which goes North as far as Glinton, East to Stanground, North East to Thorney, South to Yaxley & Stilton and West to Elton.

 

We operate an 'Open House' policy each weekday morning, for advice and information, alternatively you can contact us if you wish to make an appointment to see a specific member of staff.  You can either call us on 01733 893853, email us on pbalzheimers@tiscali.co.uk or call into our offices in Manor House Street, Central Peterborough.  We are happy to visit you at home or see you in the office at a mutually convenient time.  For further information on how to find us follow the branch link.

 

Volunteers are always welcome to help with Transport, Street Collections, Coffee Mornings, Activities, Fundraising and much more!  If you are interested in helping please contact Kevin Bowyer on 01733 893853.
