Together we will defeat dementia. We have recently expanded to support research in Cardiff.

BRACE funds world class clinical and laboratory research into Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia to find better treatments, achieve earlier diagnosis and one day, a cure. BRACE - Alzheimer's Research is a registered charity (No. 297965) established in 1987 to finance research into conditions of the elderly, particularly Alzheimer's disease. We support research projects undertaken in universit

ies and hospitals in the South West of the UK, particularly in Bristol, which is a centre of excellence for neuroscience research.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup kicked off yesterday, bringing together football fans from across the globe ⚽

Research has shown that former professional footballers are around 3.5 times more likely to develop dementia than the wider population, raising concerns about the long-term impact of repeated head injuries in the sport.

Studies have linked repeated heading of the ball to brain injury and increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases later in life.

In response to this evidence, football associations across the UK and Europe have introduced measures to reduce heading in training sessions and limit its use among children, in efforts to make the game safer for future generations.

Last week, we wrapped up Volunteers' Week with a coffee morning to thank our wonderful volunteers who help BRACE all year round.

It was a chance for them to meet each other as they help in all different ways - supermarket collectors, event helpers, cake makers, knitters, office volunteers & more.

It was a lovely morning where everyone enjoyed a cuppa, chat and delicious cakes made by the BRACE team.

“For the last decade of her life, dementia was a shadow that stole her memories and altered her world.

It was heartbreaking to witness her change in demeanour with all the visible distressing things going on inside her mind, but despite this, Granny always stayed positive.

With a good old sing song and a good “hokey cokey” even in her latest days, she never forgot how to enjoy herself and bring a smile to others.

As a Biomedical Student and part-time healthcare assistant working in the NHS, I see first-hand the impact of dementia every day.

In my role at a psychiatric hospital, I care for elderly patients, many of whom are living with dementia.

This experience has been eye-opening and has deepened my understanding and compassion for those affected by this condition.

It has also reinforced my commitment to supporting research and treatments that could make a difference in their lives."

🏃 Hugo ran the Cardiff Half Marathon in memory of his Granny, Katheryn - raising more than £700!
