What is an Alzheimer Café? Definition and purpose

An AC is a monthly post-diagnostic, support intervention for people with dementia, their family and friends. They, and anyone else interested in dementia, can attend, free of charge, without prior registration. The AC is planned and hosted by trustees, a steering committee, dementia-related professionals, and volunteers.

An AC provides dementia-related education, support, information, and opportunities to socialize -for people with dementia, their family carers, and anyone else interested in dementia. An AC gathering is held in a safe, café-like setting and atmosphere.

The aims of the AC aims are to:

. help prevent social isolation of people with dementia and their family/ friend carers

. make dementia ‘openly discussable’, through education and by including and acknowledging people with dementia

. reduce stigma about dementia by making it easier to talk about dementia – about having it, and being a carer

The AC is an economical ‘education and support intervention’. The venue, refreshments, education, insurance, and equipment require financing. The trustees, advisors, steering committee, and volunteers are not paid.

Structure, governance, and management

The charity’s governing document is its Constitution. The ACUK converted to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in 2016 and requires a minimum of three trustees.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees is through resolution passed at the trustees’ meeting. Trustees have regard for matching the candidates’ skills, knowledge, and experience to the current ACUK needs.

The trustees established a ‘Steering Committee’ (SC) comprising trustees and volunteers. The SC is responsible to the trustees for helping to host the monthly AC sessions, and for making recommendations for longer-term AC-related planning.

Objectives of the ACUK Constitution

The objectives of the Alzheimer Café UK CIO are twofold:

To relieve the needs and to promote the good health of people living with dementia, their families and carers in the three counties of Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire and such other parts of the United Kingdom and the world through the provision of support groups and other activities, services, advice and information as the trustees may from time-to-time think fit;

To advance the education of the public about dementia and about care and support for people living with dementia, their families and carers.

Trustees manage the Farnborough AC, and the extended remit of the AC UK, by:

Our education remit includes:

Education for volunteers at the Farnborough AC

The Farnborough AC - Activities and achievements this past year

The AC Farnborough hosts monthly gatherings for people with dementia, their families and carers, volunteers, professionals, and other persons with an interest. The Dementia-related talks and presentations are provided in a safe environment, with opportunities for the attendees to socialise, make contacts, learn, and ask questions of trustees and attending professionals. The presentations follow a set of themes, which broadly follow the dementia process.

The AC is popular with its attendees and guests, typically hosting between sixty to eighty people each month. Local GPs, dementia services, and AC guests are sign-posting newcomers to the AC; others have started attending after finding information on the ACUK website.

Volunteer numbers remain stable at between 15 – 20:- many come through the local ‘Voluntary Action’ recruitment services. Courses for Farnborough AC the new volunteers from the past year were held on 28 March 2025.

The ACUK trustees hold an annual ‘ACUK Networking Day’ to support other ACs and evaluate the ACs according to the standard quality control criteria. Instead of an networking Day, the trustees visited The new Parklands AC Daily Site in Gurnard, Isle of Wight, and met the other AC leaders there, along with Maggie Bennett.

ACUK Trustees celebrated and gave the talk at the 10[th] anniversary of the Camberley AC, in Sept. 2024.

ACUK trustees arranged to offer AC guests (free to them) transport, by renting a minivan from the local authorities.

ACUK trustees have started planning for the celebration of the 25[th] anniversary of the ACUK, 19 Sept. 2025.

Financial review

Cash reserves are held for expenditures related to meeting the ACUK objectives. At the end of the relevant accounting period (for this fiscal year 1 April. 2024, to 31 March 2025) the charity held £41,799.43 in cash reserves. All funds received in this reporting interval were in the form of donations.

Expenditure remains stable post Covid; attendance at the Farnborough AC stabilized and continues to increase.

Activities relating to supporting other ACs , and providing dementia-related courses for family carers, professional caregivers, and AC volunteers are also being resumed. As seen above, from the current funds held, the ACUK is in a good financial position to continue all aspects of its functioning with sufficient reserve funds to run for several years.

Trustees’ plans for the near to medium future

Plans are to maintain the items described above, offer dementia courses for family carers and professional caregivers, and to resume fund-raising after the 25[th] AC anniversary celebrations are over. The trustees wish to:

. continue publicizing the AC locally, to support other ACs, and to promote dementia education – especially for family carers

. ensure continuity of help to host the Farnborough AC – by having sufficient trustees, steering committee members, and volunteers

. evaluate and update ACUK practice regarding any new Charity Guidelines

Ongoing evaluation is part of the ACUK’s accountability

Evaluations are used to maintain the quality of the café gatherings, and for planning and teaching purposes. There are a range of ways the AC is evaluated - namely by:

. direct verbal and non-verbal feedback to organisers, volunteers, and from guests attending an AC

. word-of-mouth accounts in the media , i.e. AC guests expressing themselves in articles, verbal interviews for the radio, TV, and at talks and public events

. the annual self-evaluation using the prescribed European AC Quality Control Criteria (33 items, published on the ACUK website), completed by the trustees.

Statement on public benefit

The trustees have had due regard for the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance and have taken it into account regarding any decisions for which it has relevance.

Acknowledgements

The trustees would like to thank the Steering Committee members and volunteers for their contribution to the continuing success of the Alzheimer Café. We also wish to express our appreciation to our donors.

On behalf of the ACUK Trustees, Dr Gemma MM Jones (Chair)
