No time to lose: An action plan for dementia

Dementia is one of the leading causes of death in the UK. It is the only major cause of death we can’t slow down, prevent or cure and this comes at incredible cost. More than one million people in the UK will be living with dementia by 2030– the same year that dementia is projected to cost our economy £30bn.

Alzheimer’s Research UK is committed to increasing our investment in dementia research every year so we can one day achieve a world free from the fear, harm and heartbreak of dementia. We need government to do the same.

Through our action plan, government can help to bring about life-changing treatments and improve the lives of people with dementia.
