Alzheimer’s Society is a member of the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC) and supports its position statement on the use of animals in research.

We co-produced this guide with 20 commissioners from across the UK and people living with dementia.  It provides commissioners with the tools, tips and knowledge to involve people with lived experience in their work.

There are many common misconceptions about participating in clinical research. Taking part is often much easier and safer than people think, and some dementia research trials can even be fun!

As we enter a new year, to provide Help and Hope to all those living with dementia in 2025, we must first make sure we're a safe and secure Society.

As volunteers, you should not be out of pocket for your volunteering. We would encourage you to claim expenses using the information below. If you have any questions, please talk to your role manager or staff contact.

These policies and guidance documents are here to support you in your volunteering at Alzheimer’s Society. If you are unsure about anything, please contact your volunteer role manager or your main staff contact.

We want to encourage an active social media community by ensuring they are safe and welcoming spaces for everyone.

Small changes can make a big impact for people living with dementia in your area. But different organisations may need to consider different ways of being dementia-friendly.
