Support Groups for Carers of Alzheimers people

[LKphdEdinburgh]

Hello!

I'm a hopeful anthropology PhD student at the University of Edinburgh wanting to learn about family member carers of people with Alzheimers in London.

I'm having trouble finding any information about support groups that are offered for carers in the UK, and London specifically.

Are support groups offered? How many? Where?

Thanks for your time!

Lilian

I suggest you contact all the Care Support Groups, such as Admiral Nurses, Crossroads, Age Uk and more.

This link will help you locate Alzheimer's Society branches in the London area.

Do you also mean the charities which act as support groups eg filling in forms etc. if so you should include Princess Royal Trust and local charities for the elderly.
