Thanks to people like you, research can take place to help improve care and find treatments for the future.

Here are just some of the many people who are making a difference by taking part in dementia research. 

Former Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) Peter Middleton (pictured) has spoken about how volunteering for studies through Join Dementia Research has made him feel valued after his Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis.

“Sometimes I find things I can’t do anymore and I get very sad and emotional. But I’m busy. I have lots of meetings because I’m taking part in research and speaking about my dementia at events. I’ve never felt as valued as I do now.” – Peter Middleton

You don’t need to have dementia to make a difference either. Rianna Patterson took part in research as a healthy volunteer after losing her grandfather to dementia. Watch a video about why she took part below.
