Accelerating Efforts to Tackling Dementia ?? Today, Innovate UK joined business leaders, charities, academics, investors and patients at at No10 to accelerate efforts to tackle dementia as part of the national mission to beat this devastating illness. In 2022, in honour of Dame Barbara Windsor and the millions affected by dementia, the Prime Minister launched the Dame Barbara Windsor Dementia Mission. We have allocated funding to the Mission to invest in a pipeline of business-led innovative solutions. These will help categorise or classify dementia patients based on different characteristics, aiding the Mission's goals. The UK Government's Life Sciences Vision highlights the need to enhance translational capabilities in neurodegeneration and dementia. Innovate UK is dedicated to positively impacting people's lives by supporting business innovation that promotes longer, healthier living.

Support for Alzheimers Society “Spurred” on by a great result at The Bridge last night, back up the Downs early this morning for an eight mile walk. I am now midway through my two-week preparation for the Trek26 Stonehenge, 26 mile walk in support of the Alzheimers Society. Special for me as the anniversary of my fathers’ passing but what have I learnt over the last week? ·?????On occasion, I maybe susceptible to hearing what I want to hear (not a unique characteristic, I know), including when my body says “but it hurts”. However, when you push through those initial pain barriers, capability and productivity is increased. ·?????Routine exercise makes me more focused at my work. My mind becomes ultra-creative during exercise, generating thoughts and ideas for action once the recovery is complete and I’m back supporting my employment. ·?????The work performed by the Alzheimers Society in supporting patients, families and valuable dementia research. For most respectable people, this is a great reason alone to donate. There exists a small cohort who are openly donating purely because of my pain on the day. Whatever, weirdo’s. ·?????That Cucurella is a real player, ask the Spurs attack last night. A massive thank you for the donations received to date. If you are able to donate and support this great cause, the link is shown in the caption below. If donating for the pain that I will undoubtedly endure on the 11th floats-your-boat, that’s good too (pictures of post walk toe-nails, inflamed body parts and various gurning expressions available on request).

Lovely report

This Dementia Action Week (16-22 September) we’re encouraging everyone to take the first step to learn more about dementia and how you can help shape our communities for the better. Dementia is a growing challenge, affecting more than 55 million people globally, and this number is set to rise. Dementia Action Week aims to create a deeper understanding of dementia and reduce the stigma that surrounds it. This year's theme, "Act Now for a Dementia-Friendly Future," is a powerful reminder that together, we can make a difference by promoting inclusivity, kindness, and better access to resources for those living with dementia including friends and family. At Balance Mobility, our mission is to empower people with mobility challenges to live fuller, more independent lives. For those living with dementia, maintaining mobility is crucial to preserving quality of life. We understand that the needs of dementia patients go beyond mobility aids, which is why we offer a comprehensive range of services and products that are designed to support not only physical movement but also dignity and independence. Visit https://lnkd.in/gptb898 to see how you can get involved. #DementiaActionWeek #dementiaaustralia #balancemobility #familybusiness #community #actnowforadementiafriendlyfuture
