Together, We Can Make a Difference for People Living with Dementia
Every day, lives are transformed when communities come together to support those in need. At Alzheimer’s Society, we are deeply grateful for your group raising a fantastic £2375, to help us drive our mission forward.
With your support, we can continue to provide vital services and advocate for change. Right now, there are an estimated 900,000 people living with dementia in the UK, and this number is expected to rise to 1.6 million by 2040. The cost of care is staggering—currently at £34.7 billion per year, with two-thirds of this burden falling on families and individuals affected by dementia. By 2040, this figure is projected to reach £94.1 billion per year.
But together, we can change the story.
Your Impact Matters
Every donation we receive helps us take one step closer to a world where dementia is no longer a barrier to living a full and meaningful life. Whether it’s through campaigning for government action or delivering life-changing services, your contributions make a real difference.
One of the many ways we support people living with dementia is through Talking Point, our online safe space. Here, individuals can share their experiences, frustrations, and knowledge, finding comfort and strength in a community that understands. Just £50 enables 312 people to access this vital resource, day or night, when they need it most.
Be Part of the Change
Your generosity fuels hope and action. Together, we can ensure that every penny counts toward creating a brighter future for people living with dementia and their families. Whether you’re fundraising, donating, or simply spreading the word, you’re helping us make a difference.
Thank you for standing with us. Thank you for believing in a world where dementia is no longer a barrier. Thank you for being part of the solution.
