The Alzheimer’s Society is The FA’s official national charity partner.

We are proud to have raised over £1m for Alzheimer’s Society, with thousands more fans, players, and staff now knowing where to go to access vital dementia support, changing the game for fans and players in years to come.

One in three people born today will go on to develop dementia in their lifetime. It’s the UK’s biggest killer, but too many people still think dementia is just a sign of normal ageing, are unsure of the symptoms, and are too afraid to visit their GP and Alzheimer’s Society and The FA have been working to raise awareness of dementia and the importance of diagnosis.

We are proud of awareness raising, such as the Alzheimer’s Society Internationals which have seen teams appear for the second half in nameless shirts to draw attention to memory loss, one of the most common symptoms of dementia.
