About Alzheimer's Research UK

Alzheimer's Research UK are the UK's leading dementia research charity.

At Alzheimer’s Research UK, we stand for everyone affected by dementia. We stand for a cure.

If nothing changes, one in two of us will be directly affected by dementia – either by developing the condition ourselves, caring for someone with it, or both.

We’re determined to stop this from becoming a reality.

We’re working to revolutionise the way we treat, diagnose and prevent dementia. But we will not stop there.

With your support, we will keep going until every person is free from the heartbreak of dementia. We exist for a cure.
