BetterGov are proud to be fundraising for Alzheimer’s Research UK, the UK’s leading dementia research charity.

If nothing changes, one in two of us will be directly affected by dementia – either by developing the condition ourselves, caring for someone with it, or both. Currently there are no treatments available on the NHS to slow, stop or prevent the diseases that cause it. But Alzheimer’s Research UK’s cutting-edge research is accelerating progress towards a cure.

They have invested over £237 million since 1998, funding 1,275 research projects that build on our understanding of dementia and the diseases that cause it, taking us closer to the development of life-changing treatments.

Alzheimer’s Research UK have worked with scientists across 90 countries, producing over 5,000 scientific publications. You can read more about their work on the website www.alzheimersresearchuk.org

Throughout 2026 the BetterGov team will focus our fundraising efforts on supporting this life-changing research, with the hope that one day the heartbreak of dementia will become a thing of the past.

Have a look at the various challenges we are undertaking, and please do sponsor us to help support this vital work.

With thanks,

the BetterGov team.
