Currently more than 55 million people have dementia worldwide, over 60% of whom live in low-and middle-income countries. Every year, there are nearly 10 million new cases.

Dementia can affect a person at any age but it’s more common in people over the age of 65.

There are over 200 subtypes of dementia. Dementia results from a variety of diseases and injuries that affect the brain. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia and may contribute to 60–70% of cases.

Dementia is currently the seventh leading cause of death and one of the major causes of disability and dependency among older people globally.

By 2025, it’s estimated that over one million people in the UK will have a diagnosis of dementia – and almost all of us will know someone living with the condition.

Your support will help families facing dementia get the help they need, whenever they need it. It will help whole families to get life-changing advice and enable them to face the future with confidence.
