About Alzheimer’s Society
Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer, and one in three people born in the UK will develop it in their lifetime.
As the UK’s leading dementia charity, Alzheimer’s Society tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to those affected, today and in the future.
We’re immensely proud to have chosen Alzheimer’s Society as our Charity Partner of the Year. They are a charity that are close to the hearts of so many of our team across the Group. This partnership reflects our commitment to supporting those affected by dementia and our dedication to making a positive difference in our community. I’m excited to see the team in action with their fundraising activities across the year.

How our Fundraising Makes a Difference
Every penny we are able to raise will give help and hope to people living with dementia. The donations will help fund the charities vital services, ground-breaking research and support their campaigns to make dementia the priority it should be.
£1,000 Raised
£1,000 raised means the charities expert dementia advisors can give help and advice to those who need it. This lifeline is open seven days a week for anybody who needs them.
£5,000 Raised
£5,000 pays for 66 people to attend Singing for the Brain over the course of a year. This is one of Alzheimer’s Society’s most popular services.
£10,000 Raised
£10,000 enables an outstanding PhD student to pursue their research for four months. This money will help to train future dementia research leaders and ultimately drive forward their understanding of dementia.
£30,000 Raised
£30,000 can provide the resources a research fellow needs for three years, to develop their understanding of the causes of dementia, improve care and treatment and search for a cure.
£100,000 Raised
