About Company

Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer and 1 in 2 of us will be directly affected by it. For many years, the situation has felt hopeless – but global optimism around new treatments and host of advances in research are now revealing a path to a cure. Alzheimer’s Research UK is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. Since we were founded in 1992, the scientists we fund have made significant breakthroughs in dementia research. But there’s still more to do. 

Our 10-year organisational strategy sets out our path towards a cure – defining the change that we want to see for people affected by dementia and identifies the unique role that we play.
