Zurich supports dementia research with £130,000

As our focus on Dementia Action Week continues, 2024 saw both Zurich Community Trust (ZCT) together with Z Zurich Foundation (ZZF), making more impact in support of dementia research. ZZF supported Insurance United Against Dementia’s 'Insurance Day of Giving' with £100,000, plus a further £5,000 towards matching other donations. In addition, ZCT awarded funding of £25,000 to directly support research into dementia blood bio-markers that has the potential to transform the dementia diagnosis process. Dementia diagnosis is crucial to enable individuals access to the right treatment and support. At the moment one in three people living with dementia do not have a confirmed diagnosis. With nearly one million currently living with the disease across the UK, that's close to a staggering 300,000 people potentially undiagnosed. We're extremely proud to be a part of the IUAD community who are providing vital support to those living with dementia, including advocating a more effective process for diagnosis. Their ongoing research is crucial and gives hope for our future generations. #IUAD #StrongerTogether #DAW2025
