Be part of the breakthrough: Help fund research to beat dementia for good

Around 1 million people in the UK are living with dementia today. By 2040, that number is expected to rise to 1.4 million. That’s why investing in research now is more critical than ever. Research brings knowledge — and with knowledge, we can create life-changing treatments and innovations that bring us closer to a world without dementia. 

Currently, people living with dementia face problems with getting a diagnosis, getting necessary care and accessing treatments to help manage their symptoms. We believe no family should have to live like this, and research is the key to unlocking these problems – you can help make this happen.

Your impact on dementia research

In July, Dr Atticus Hainsworth launched a pioneering project, funded by Alzheimer’s Society, looking into the underlying causes of vascular dementia. By studying donated brain tissue, Dr Hainsworth will examine how blood flow loss damages white matter — and explore a groundbreaking new approach that could help the brain repair itself. 

Your support is at the heart of innovative work such as Dr Hainsworth’s, and your generosity could help power even more research that will bring us closer to beating dementia for good.

Can you help us support people like Jim and Liz?

Jim was diagnosed with vascular dementia 6 years ago after a brain scan revealed he had cognitive impairment. It was Jim’s wife, Liz, who began noticing that Jim was not himself, which was what prompted them to see a specialist in the first place. 

After a second brain scan, Jim was told he had vascular dementia. Liz describes this moment as ‘like a punch in the stomach’. The pain of losing your loved one, bit by bit, day by day is heartbreaking. It’s time to put an end to this all-too-familiar pain for families devastated by dementia. 

With your help, we can continue funding vital research to change the future for people like Jim and Liz.
