About dementia and Alzheimer's Society

1 in 3 of us over 65 will die with dementia.
750,000 people in the UK have dementia today and this will rise to over 1 million by 2012. Only a few currently get the care and support they need.
There's no cure and research is under-funded.

Alzheimer's Society is the only UK charity focused on leading the fight against all types of dementia, providing care today and investing in research to find a cure for tomorrow.

How you can help: Please vote for Alzheimer's Society

Your vote could make a real difference to people in your local community and if we win this partnership, it will:

fund and safeguard vital community services such as our Dementia Support Workers, who provide one to one care and support for people with dementia and their families. See what services are available in your area
support our unique research programme into the cause, cure, care and prevention of dementia
