Our colleagues from across the UK voted to support Alzheimer’s Research UK as our National Charity Partner for 2024/25. This is the first time we have teamed up with a dementia charity, with the decision being made after many of our staff shared personal experiences. Dementia affects almost one million people in the UK alone. Tragically, not one of them will survive. Alzheimer’s Research UK exists to change that. The charity is striving for a cure by revolutionising the way dementia is treated, diagnosed and prevented. With recent breakthroughs in the search for new treatments, there’s never been a more exciting time to join forces with the charity.
Lucy Squance, Director of Supporter Led Fundraising at Alzheimer’s Research UK, said:
“Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer, with one in ten people dying from the condition. We cannot let this go on and we won’t. With the support from people and organisations like Weatherbys, we’re closer than ever to ending the heartbreak caused by dementia. Alzheimer’s Research UK is thrilled to begin our two-year partnership and we look forward to seeing what we can achieve together. Thank you, Weatherbys, for standing with us in our search for a cure.”
