Dementia UK

HQ Location: 
London

Location of benefit: 
UK only (nationwide)

 With over a million people in the UK expected to have a form of dementia by 2025, there has never been a greater need for the provision of high quality dementia care and support.
Dementia is a progressive degenerative condition and, at present, there is no known cure. Your support will help Dementia UK to continue to develop vital services to support family carers and to improve the standards of care for people with dementia in all settings
The charity has four core areas:
· Admiral Nurses, specialist dementia nurses
· Admiral Nursing DIRECT, a direct access telephone information and support service for family carers, people concerned about their own memory and professional care staff.
· Dementia UK Training, which offers high quality affordable training for health and social care staff working in care homes, the community and hospitals.
· Uniting Carers, a national membership network for family carers and friends of people with dementia, which aims to raise awareness and improve understanding of dementia and carer's issues.
