The Alzheimer's Research Trust is the UK's leading charity dedicated to funding research to find effective treatments for Alzheimer's and related diseases. The work we do has never been more vital. In the next 24 hours, a further 100 people in England and Wales will show the first signs of the disease - one person every 14 minutes - but there is no cure.

• For every person with Alzheimer's only £11 is spent on UK research, compared with £289 for every cancer patient.
• The Alzheimer's Research Trust has to turn down three out of every four applications for research funding.

The Alzheimer's Research Trust relies entirely on voluntary donations from individuals, companies and charitable trusts to fund its vital work and receives no government funding. We depend on people like you to fund our important work.

Donating in memory or in celebration of a friend or relative

Some of our supporters ask for donations in lieu of flowers, or make a donation on a day which is special to them. If you'd like to give in memory or in celebration of someone, simply let us know when you send your donation and we will acknowledge the gift in their honour. If you would like us to write to a next of kin or other friend or family member, please also let us know. Such donations allow us to fund important research into dementia and make progress in the search for a cure.
