Supporting Dementia UK at work

Dementia is now the leading cause of death in the UK, and it is estimated that the number of people living here with the condition will rise to over 1 million by 2021. You can make a difference by getting your company involved to raise vital awareness and funds to support families facing dementia.

Our charity partner 2017-2019, Dementia UK, was selected through a staff vote and – as one of the biggest health issues of our time – is a cause that resonates strongly with our colleagues and customers. In fact, this has been our most successful charity partnership to date.

–  Martyn Cheatle, Chief Executive Officer of Central England Co-operative.
