Did you know that

There are currently 750,000 people with dementia in the UK.

There are over 16,000 younger people with dementia in the UK.

60,000 deaths a year are directly attributable to dementia

Delaying the onset of dementia by 5 years would reduce deaths directly attributable to dementia by 30,000 a year.

So giving just...

£5 could pay for one person to attend a half hour session at a monthly Dementia Café, providing information and support for people with dementia and their carers.

£20 could pay for 100 copies of Understanding and respecting the person with dementia - one of the Society's most requested factsheets.

£50 could fund a PhD researcher for one day to continue vital research into understanding the causes of dementia, how it can be treated and, ultimately, to find a cure.

£120 could pay to run Talking Point for one day - the Society's 24/7 online community for all people affected by dementia
