Alzheimer Scotland is Barclays lead charity partner this year. My sister works with them, so I'm getting insights into just how important this charity is...they're committed to ensuring that no one, whatever their age, has to face dementia alone. The below paragraphs on prevention are provided by the charity.

Research shows that up to 45% of dementia cases could be prevented globally through simple health and lifestyle changes. At Alzheimer Scotland, we’re passionate about helping people protect their brain health and reduce their risk of dementia – it’s at the heart of everything we do.

With your fundraising, we can reach older teens and young adults with empowering brain health information in colleges, universities and workplaces across Scotland, while supporting people of all ages to make small, positive lifestyle changes that may help prevent dementia.

We couldn’t do this without you. On behalf of everyone at Alzheimer Scotland - thank you for your support.
