Our 10-year organisational strategy sets out our path towards a cure – defining the change that we want to see for people affected by dementia and identifies the unique role that we play.
ARUK: Towards a Cure marks a pivotal moment both for everyone affected by dementia and for us as a charity.
Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer and 1 in 2 of us will be directly affected by it. For many years, the situation has felt hopeless – but global optimism around new treatments and host of advances in research are now revealing a path to a cure.
We are at the beginning of our journey – but with the right support and action, it’s a matter of when, not if, life-changing treatments arrive. Our new strategy sets out our path towards a cure. We are grateful to our supporters and people directly affected by dementia, whose feedback has shaped the strategy.

Alzheimer's Research UK: Towards a Cure defines the change we want to see for people affected by dementia. And identifies the unique role that we play.
"I’m delighted to have given my views in the development of ARUK: Towards a Cure. While sadly progress will be too late for Frank, I am full of hope and optimism that people diagnosed with dementia will in the future have more options to live longer, better lives."
