Dementia Support Line
What do we mean by getting involved?
Getting involved as a Dementia Voice Partner at Alzheimer’s Society looks like:
- sharing your story
- helping with our recruitment or interview process
- influencing decision-makers to improve the lives of people with dementia
- shaping and influencing research
- working with healthcare students
- joining a group
- and much more.
There is no one way to get involved. It all depends on your interests, how much time you wish to contribute, and the unique lived experience you bring.

Our Dementia Voice Partners are people with lived experience of dementia. This could be someone living with dementia, a carer, or a loved one. They use their personal experiences to help shape the work we do at Alzheimer's Society.
Yes! We have over 2200 Dementia Voice Partners from all walks of life. We welcome all voices with lived experience of dementia - whether you live with dementia or are a carer, former carer, or a loved one of someone living with dementia.
No – Involvement is about your lived experience, your perspectives, and your willingness to make a difference. Everyone has something valuable to contribute. If you would like to gain confidence or try something new, we can support you.
You can get involved as much or as little as you like, and we’re here to support what works for you. We understand that everybody’s availability and capacity varies and can fluctuate, so there is no set time expectation. Whether you have an hour a month or are available every day, we can find a role that suits you. And we're always here to support you.
We welcome and encourage Involvement from people with lived experience of all types of dementia. Our Dementia Voice Partners have a range of diagnoses, including: Alzheimer's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, Frontotemporal dementia, mixed dementia, Parkinson's disease-related dementia, Pick's disease, Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA), Vascular dementia, and more.
Yes, absolutely. We have Involvement opportunities that can be done from home, online, or over the phone.
You can sign up for our monthly email bulletin. We’ll send you updates, opportunities, and ways you can use your lived experience to make change.
