Charity for January/February/March 2009

Alzheimer's Research Trust

Our charity for the first three months of 2009 is the Alzheimer's Research Trust which is the leading UK dementia research charity. The Trust funds major research throughout the UK into Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, including vascular dementia and Lewy Body dementia. With the aim of finding an effective way to treat or prevent dementia, the charity funds major research projects, fellowships, PhD scholars, essential scientific equipment, and a Network aiding collaboration between the leading UK Alzheimer's research centres. Alzheimer's is a deeply distressing disease and as yet, there is no cure. With no government funding, legacies and voluntary donations are vital to the Trust's future research.

Please give as generously as you are able, to further the work of this charity.

The Alzheimer's Research Trust Aim is to beat dementia.

To quote the Trust

“The Alzheimer's Research Trust's aim is simple - we want to combat dementia once and for all. We fund world-class scientific research to find ways to prevent, cure or treat Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, including vascular dementia, Lewy Body disease and fronto-temporal dementia.

We can't let Alzheimer's win

As the number of people with dementia rises, there is an urgent need to develop new treatments. The Alzheimer's Research Trust funds research across the UK and beyond. We consult with scientists on the best way to support research and only fund the best and most innovative work by the most promising researchers to take us towards new treatments.”
