Alzheimer's Research Trust
We will beat dementia The Alzheimer's Research Trust's aim is simple - we want to combat dementia once and for all. We fund world-class scientific research to find ways to prevent, cure or treat Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, including vascular dementia, Lewy Body disease and fronto-temporal dementia. As the number of people with dementia rises, there is an urgent need to develop new treatments. 700,000 people live with dementia in the UK and this is a number forecast to double within a generation. The Alzheimer's Research Trust funds research across the UK and beyond. We consult with scientists on the best way to support research and only fund the best and most innovative work by the most promising researchers to take us towards new treatments. The charity has funded over 150 research projects to make real progress towards ways to cure, prevent or treat dementia and we are now placed among the top 30 medical and health related UK charities. Each project funded by the Alzheimer's Research Trust brings us a step closer to solving dementia. We are finding more of the right jigsaw pieces and fitting them together to fight dementia.
