All ARDSI chapters run in their own capacity following basic guidelines from the head office. The organisation carries out dementia awareness and anti-stigma campaigns throughout the year. Particularly during World Alzheimer’s month in September, the different chapters conduct several public events. The ARDSI also provides a few dementia-related services to support caregivers and persons with dementia. Some of the chapters run day-care/activity centres for people with dementia as a social service for minimal charges (charges are only to cover operational costs). The organisation also conducts dementia research and holds an annual conference.
