Hands up if you pledge to beat dementia. 🙋

Dementia devastates lives, but we can only beat it by bringing together carers, researchers, volunteers, fundraisers, politicians, and YOU.

It will take a society to beat dementia.

That’s why on World Alzheimer’s Day we’re asking you to share this post to bring everyone together, united to beat dementia.

❤️ NATIONAL BLOOD WEEK is here! It’s a chance for us – and the whole country - to say a massive thank you to everyone who donates.

Blood donors make up a huge volunteer force, saving the lives of strangers through your acts of kindness.

But we need more giving types to help!

To keep England’s blood supply secure, over 5,000 donations are required EVERY DAY.

However, fewer than 800,000 people donated last year, representing just 2% of the population.

📢 Do you know someone who could join our team of lifesavers? We want to try and reach 1 million active donors this year, so please share this post and tell your friends and family.

It only takes an hour to donate blood, but it could give someone else a lifetime.
