Society’s 40th anniversary

ALZHEIMER’S Society will mark its 40th anniversary this year, celebrating our story so far and our ongoing commitment to stop dementia in its tracks. In Leicestershire there are 12000 people with dementia and it is now the 21st century’s biggest killer.

I’d like to thank everyone in Leicestershire who united against dementia last year by fundraising, campaigning and volunteering, helping us challenge perceptions, fund research and improve and provide care and support.

There are many highlights from 2018 including the Dementia Community Roadshow touring the county and a hugely successful Dementia Action Week.

There are so many ways your readers can get involved in 2019 and what better time to take on a new challenge? From becoming a volunteer for our Side by Side service to fundraising, campaigning to Fix Dementia Care or signing up to Join Dementia Research.

Whether you give an hour, a day or more, please visit alzheimers.org.uk/getinvolved or call 0116 231 1111 to find out how you can unite against dementia.
