Alzheimer's Research UK

Who we are

Almost one million people are living with dementia today. Tragically, not one of them will survive.

Alzheimer’s Research UK exists to change that.

As the UK’s leading dementia research charity, we are working to revolutionise the way we treat, diagnose and prevent dementia. And then, we will find a way to cure it.

To do this, we’re investing in the best research, powering the most forward-thinking scientists and joining forces with world-class organisations.

With your support, we promise we will not stop until dementia can no longer destroy lives.

We are Alzheimer’s Research UK.

We exist for a cure.

By working at Alzheimer's Research UK, you will be part of an organisation that has been recognised nationally as an outstanding place to work.
