There are over 820,000 people in the UK today with Alzheimer's disease and similar forms of dementia. It can affect anybody.
It's easy and safe. Your transaction will be carried out by a secure connection on our official partner's website www.committedgiving.net.
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. 163,000 new cases of dementia occur in England and Wales each year - one every 3 minutes but sadly there is no cure.
- For every person with dementia only £61 is spent on UK research, compared with £295 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.
It is also possible to raise funds for the Alzheimer's Research Trust on Much Loved, a tribute website where people can set up memorial pages for friends and loved ones who have passed away. The Alzheimer's Research Trust is a Much Loved partner.
