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.
More people than ever are joining the fightback against dementia. In 2016/17, our income grew by an incredible 38% to £30.5m – with a staggering 44% increase in donations from people like you.
Support like this means we can continue to invest in the very best science. We were able to put £21.4m towards research, including £7m earmarked for our long-term commitments to the UK Dementia Research Institute. We’re making great inroads, and we couldn’t do any of it without you alongside us.
