Alzheimers Society

Alzheimer’s Society is is the UK’s leading dementia charity for care and research – acting as a vital source of support and a powerful force for change for everyone living with dementia. They do this by providing support from day one, campaigning for rights and ensuring dementia is a governmental priority.

 

Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer, with over 900,000 people currently living with it. And this number is only set to rise further to a staggering 1.6 million by 2040. That’s why, now more than ever, we need your support to ensure that no one faces dementia alone, now or in the future.

 

Payroll Giving is one of the simplest and most flexible methods of charitable support, providing a reliable, vital and consistent stream of income. Giving regularly through your pay allows us to plan for the future and more importantly, fund our vital services to provide help and hope to everyone living with dementia.

 

Donations help fund our dedicated support services, such as our incredible team of telephone dementia advisers on our Dementia Support Line. Through specialist advice, support and an empathetic listening ear, our dementia advisers offer a lifeline, to help people navigate the everyday challenges dementia brings.

 

We believe that research holds the key to a better world for people affected by dementia. That’s why since 1989, we have invested £94 million pounds into innovative research projects. Excitingly, these investments are paying off. Last year, we made 2 incredible research breakthroughs with the discovery of Lecanemab and Donanemab. In studies, these disease-modifying drugs have been shown to slow down the decline of thinking and memory problems in people living with early Alzheimer’s disease. Though we have made some great advances, there is still so much that needs to be done. There are still over 250,000 people in the UK without a dementia diagnosis and struggling to cope….

 

Together, we are help and hope for everyone living with dementia.
