Alzheimer's Research UK

We aim to be open and transparent about our work in order to gain the trust and confidence of our supporters, wider stakeholders and the general public and therefore have a formal procedure for dealing with comments and complaints.

We understand that comments and complaints give us a further opportunity to monitor and improve performance and help us to understand public perception. Our complaints procedure is part of our focus on supporter satisfaction and a vital part of managing our charity properly. Should you be unhappy with any part of our work or any communication you have received from us, please contact us:
