At present, there are a small number of drug and non-drug treatments for specific forms of dementia.

Current treatments help the symptoms, but don't cure the diseases (like Alzheimer's) that cause dementia. But donations like yours are helping change this.

Our Drug Discovery Alliance is working on over 20 new treatments for dementia right now and there are over a dozen dementia treatments being tested in the final stages of clinical trials.

For every £1 donated, 73p powers our research and helps people to understand and take action on dementia.

We continually focus on running the charity as efficiently as possible, including using volunteers wherever we can. We're totally transparent - further details can be found in our Annual Report.

Yes - you can make a one-off donation here.

We ask for monthly donations because they are the best way for us to plan and fund the future of research. We want to bring about the first life-changing treatment for dementia and knowing how much money we can invest in pioneering projects is key to achieving this goal.
