The word ‘dementia’ describes a set of symptoms that over time can affect memory, problem-solving, language and behaviour. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia.

There are approaching 1M people with dementia in the UK. This is likely to rise to 1.6M in less than 20 years.

At Simpler Law, and across our sister companies in the HAIG Legal Group, Fidelis Legal Services and Northwood Banks & Co, we take our duty of care very seriously. Many people approach us to deal with their Estate Planning and prepare Lasting Powers of Attorney and it is vital that they have the capacity to understand the process, and the services they are requesting. We cannot and will not take the instruction of someone who doesn’t have the mental capacity.

It is this significant link between the services we offer and dementia which inspired us to make Alzheimer's Society our Charity of the Year twice!

Between December 2023 and December 2024, we raised £7873, blowing our target out of the water.

We began fundraising again for Alzheimer's Society in April 2025 and have set another £5,000 target for the year ending April 2026.

We hope that, if you are able, you will support us in our fundraising and help us meet this target.
