In the UK alone, 900,000 people are living with dementia – enough to fill Wembley stadium ten times over. Dementia can be truly devastating, stripping people of their memories, abilities and connections to the world. But with the right support and investment in research, people can continue to enjoy life for longer and live well with dementia.

Sport has a unique role to play in making this possible. It connects people of all ages, races and backgrounds, builds memories that last a lifetime and engages people with dementia like nothing else.
