Alzheimer’s Society becomes an affiliate of Our Future Health

Alzheimer’s disease and dementia

Around 900,000 people live with dementia in the UK, with over half of these cases caused by Alzheimer’s disease. It’s estimated that, within the next three years, over 1 million people will live with dementia in the UK.

Alzheimer’s Society provide hope: they join forces with people affected by dementia, leading scientists and policy makers, amplifying voices to push for cutting edge breakthroughs and societal change that’ll improve the lives of people affected by dementia, now and in the future.

Affiliate charities

Our Future Health is joining with many of the UK’s leading health research charities who are providing valuable support and expertise to help develop Our Future Health. They will make a big impact in allowing us to ultimately change the way we prevent, detect and treat diseases.

Andrew Roddam, CEO of Our Future Health, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Alzheimer’s Society as an affiliate charity of Our Future Health. With their support, we hope to enhance research into dementia and make discoveries that benefit everyone it affects.”
