We’re working with government, parliamentarians, clinicians, industry and people impacted by dementia to support life-changing research.
Of the leading causes of death, dementia is the fastest rising health condition in the UK and the biggest long term health challenge we face. Investment in research is key to making the breakthroughs we need to deliver life-changing treatments. And that investment must also be channelled into the right areas.
Our team works closely with government, parliamentarians and people affected by dementia to put key issues on the political agenda. We aim to keep the focus on the government policies that can have the biggest impact for research and for people living with dementia.

Brain Health
