Donations Welcome!

We are looking for donations - things that would suit our residents’ ensuite toilets. Some of our toilets have high ceilings and the walls are looking quite bare.
We are looking for small storage and wall décor that would suit a toilet or bathroom.

If you have anything lying around that you no longer need, please do pass it into us!

A wonderful initiative for people with dementia!

We’re proud to launch SafeConnect in partnership with Police Scotland – a new safeguarding initiative to support people with dementia who may be at risk of going missing.

The SafeConnect fob is a small, yellow device that can be carried or attached to clothing. It holds secure emergency contact details and can be scanned with a smartphone using Near Field Communication (NFC) to help quickly reunite someone with their loved ones or carers.

After a successful pilot in Argyll & Bute and West Dunbartonshire, we're now rolling out SafeConnect fobs free of charge to anyone living with dementia across Scotland.

To request a free SafeConnect set-up pack or learn more about the initiative, please visit our website - www.alzscot.org/safeconnect-request/
