Dementia Research UK

Dementia Research UK is a registered grant-making charity dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by dementia across the UK. It raises funds to support work that can advance understanding of dementia, alleviate its impact and, ultimately, help eradicate it. The charity funds medical research through national research bodies at universities and hospitals, as well as regional centres that provide practical services and support. Its grants address both long-term priorities, such as research into dementia and its causes, and immediate needs, including services, support groups and assistive technologies that can improve quality of life today.

The organisation also acts as a guide to information and resources from its expert partners, helping people find research, services and support across the dementia community. Its website provides information about dementia, the charity’s campaigns, funded organisations and partner news, alongside a blog and an online shop. By supporting research and connecting people with specialist partners, Dementia Research UK works to contribute to better knowledge and more supportive experiences for people living with dementia and those who care for them.
