Why Dementia UK ?

Why Dementia UK ?

Dementia UK needs money to support people affected by dementia and their families. This includes providing specialist dementia support, such as Admiral Nurse services, and funding research into the condition. Dementia UK relies on voluntary donations and does not receive government funding.

Here's why their need for funding is significant:

High Costs of Dementia Care:
Dementia care, particularly in care homes, can be very expensive, often requiring individuals and their families to cover costs that exceed public funding.

Lack of Government Funding:
Dementia UK operates without government funding, meaning they rely entirely on donations to provide their services.

Increasing Demand:
The demand for specialist dementia support is growing as the number of people with dementia and their families seeking help increases.

Impact on Families:
Living with dementia can be incredibly challenging for both the person with the condition and their families, often leading to feelings of isolation and overwhelm.

Importance of Research:
Funding research is crucial for understanding and developing treatments for dementia, potentially leading to a cure or improved care options.

By supporting Dementia UK, individuals can help ensure that people with dementia and their families receive the life-changing support they need.
