We have set out a clear mission: to bring about the first life-changing treatment for dementia. Every day our scientists take strides towards this goal – thanks to supporters like you.
Between September 2017 and March 2018, thanks to our generous supporters, Alzheimer’s Research UK’s income reached £18.2m. This enabled us to commit £15.5m to our charitable activities, of which £13.1m was committed to fund pioneering research.
We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who chose to support us. Your donations, however large or small, are taking us further towards our mission of bringing about the first life-changing treatment for dementia.
