£150 could develop the next generation of dementia researchers by supporting a PhD student for a day.

£120 could provide 100 petri dishes, enabling scientists to grow a “mini brain” model to study and develop innovative ways to protect brain cells from disease.

£100 could provide vital nutrients needed to grow brain cells in the lab, allowing scientists to see exactly how diseases damage the brain, which could identify new routes to treatments.

£50 could pay for one hour of research into improving the way dementia is diagnosed. This will unlock access to support, care, emerging treatments and opportunities to take part in clinical trials.

£30 could pay for 50 test tubes, ensuring scientists can carry out the hands-on lab work needed to drive progress towards slowing or stopping dementia.

£35 a month could help fund research to improve MRI brain scanning, taking us towards earlier and more accurate diagnosis.

£25 a month could contribute towards a kit to help detect and study dementia proteins in the brain, allowing researchers to understand how they affect brain cells.

£20 a month could help support long-term population studies to unpick the risk factors for dementia and reveal the best ways to maintain good brain health as we age.

£10 a month could pay towards a state-of-the-art microscope that will allow scientists to study the behaviour of cells in real time, providing a window into diseases that cause dementia and shedding new light on ways to stop them.

£7 a month could pay towards a brain scan for a patient involved in dementia research study, helping scientists understand the effectiveness of new drug treatments.
