Alzheimer's Society
1. Do Alzheimer’s Society have charity shops?
We do not have any high street shops but we recycle a wide range of items – from currency and clothes, to old jewellery, technology, stamps, cameras and cars. This page explains what you can donate and how to do it.
2. How much money, from the purchase of the products, goes to the Alzheimer’s Society?
100% of our profits goes to Alzheimer’s Society to help fund our work to support all those who need our help and ultimately find a cure for dementia. As a result, every purchase you make really does make a difference. Find out more about where your money goes.
3. How do I make a donation to the Alzheimer’s’ Society?
There are two ways to make a donation. The first is to add a donation to your order at checkout. This will be added to the cost of your products.
The second is to click on the ‘Donate’ button on our Donate page.

8. What is VAT relief?
VAT relief means you can save money on many of our helpful everyday products as we don’t have to charge 20% VAT. Products with VAT relief are clearly labelled on our website and catalogues and show the VAT relief price in pink.
You are eligible for VAT relief if you have dementia or are considered chronically sick or disabled, and you are buying the product for your personal use. This also applies if you are family, friend or carer buying on behalf of someone who is eligible.

We understand that the postage charge can discourage people from shopping with us however, the amount we charge delivery helps cover some of the costs of postage and packaging. This means more money goes towards our valuable work with people with dementia.
