Today, there are few treatments options for people with dementia. Existing treatments are limited in their scope and don’t work for all forms of dementia. But donations like yours are helping change this.

Current Alzheimer’s treatments in the UK only help to manage the symptoms, but thanks to research there is a new generation of treatments on the horizon that tackle the underlying disease.

Our Drug Discovery Alliance is working on over 20 potential 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, 77p powers our life-changing research and helps people to understand and take action on dementia. The remaining 23p raises our next £1 and funds essential running costs.

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 life-changing treatments for dementia and knowing how much money we can invest in pioneering projects is key to achieving this goal.
