The Sandhurst Alzheimer's Support Group was established in February 1993 and came of age by graduating to Branch status on the 16th May, 1995 and is now known as the Sandhurst & District Branch of the Alzheimer's Disease Society.

Its objective is to provide help and support for those caring for people with Alzheimer's Disease and other forms of dementia, across the three neighbouring counties of Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire.

Informal monthly meetings are held to provide the opportunity for members to meet in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere, to discuss and share their problems with others who are also experiencing similar difficulties.

Guest speakers are invited to talk on related topics along with professionals, who can offer advice and guidance on a wide range of subjects.
