Nearly one million people are estimated to be living with dementia in the UK – and that number is set to increase over the next few decades as the population ages.
By 2050, it is predicted that this figure will have jumped to 1.6 million.
The cost of dementia is expected to almost double in the same timeframe, from £25bn today to £47bn in 2050. The disease has a devastating impact on people’s lives, as well as their family and friends.
