We are grateful to Alzheimer's Research UK (ARUK) who are supporting the Dementia Masterclass.

- The charity's mission is to accelerate progress towards a cure. Alzheimer’s Research UK invests in understanding the biological causes of dementia, improving early and accurate diagnosis, and developing new therapeutic approaches aimed at slowing, stopping, or preventing disease progression.
Alongside its research funding, the organisation plays a major role in public engagement and policy advocacy, raising awareness of dementia, promoting brain health, and campaigning for increased national investment in research. It also supports the development of future research leaders through fellowships, training programmes, and collaborative initiatives across academia, healthcare, and industry.
