Jamieson’s take part in Elf Day to raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Society

Jamieson’s are delighted to have raised a fantastic £415 for the Alzheimer’s Society by taking part in Elf Day 2021.

With over 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK today and that number set to rise to 1 million by 2026, research has never been more important, yet it’s been chronically underfunded for many years. We are campaigning to make sure that dementia research gets the funding it needs. In recent years, momentum has driven dementia research forward due to efforts by charity fundraisers.

Alzheimer’s Society supports ground-breaking research to develop new treatments for dementia, understand how it may be prevented and improve the care that people affected by dementia receive today. But dementia research has been hit hard by the pandemic.
On average, medical research charities saw a 40% fall in research investment during 2020/21. People with dementia have already been the worst hit by the pandemic, and we must work hard to bring them hope of new treatments and better care for today and for the future. Now more than ever, we need to invest in dementia research. Together, we can keep up the pressure on government to ensure that proper funding is available to kickstart crucial research.

Thank you to everyone who donated to this worthwhile cause!
