Alzheimer’s Research UK
Dementia robs us of everything that matters. Our memories. Our connections. Our stories. Currently one in two people will be directly impacted by dementia: either by caring for someone with the condition, developing it themselves, or both. We have seen advances in other areas of medical research save millions of lives. Yet today, dementia remains a condition that cannot be cured.

They steal childhoods, devastate relationships and pull families apart. However, we know that recovery is possible. And with your help, we’re determined to ensure everyone gets the support they need and deserve.
