Charity
We have chosen Alzheimer’s Research UK as our charity. Dementia is a condition that can affect anyone regardless of 
background, education, lifestyle or status. Here are some key facts:
- Dementia affects over 850,000 people in the UK and numbers are increasing
- Around 36% of the UK population know a close friend or family member with dementia
- At £23.6 billion each year, dementia costs the UK economy more than cancer and heart disease combined
- What your money can do:
- £20 could fund one hour of vital research
- £50 could provide access to specialist equipment for studying cells
- £120 could support complex protein analysis
- £300 could pay for a genetic test to help identify risk genes
