Signature Senior Lifestyle Pledges To Raise £25,000 For BRACE To Support Dementia Research
Signature Senior Lifestyle has announced an exciting new partnership with BRACE, a dementia research charity.
The collaboration will see Signature commit to raising £25,000 in 2025 to fund a dedicated Dementia Research Nurse, helping to advance crucial research into dementia diagnosis, and treatment.
With almost one million people in the UK living with dementia, research into early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment has never been more vital. BRACE, which has been funding pioneering dementia research for over 30 years, supports projects across leading institutions in England and Wales.
This new partnership marks the first time BRACE has collaborated with a care home provider, highlighting the shared commitment of both organisations to improving the quality of life for people living with dementia, both now and in the future, support for research, care and awareness.
Vishul Seewoolall, Chief Operating Officer of Signature Senior Lifestyle, commented:
“Dementia is a condition close to the heart of so many of our residents, their families, and our team members. At Signature, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality of care and support for those living with dementia, and we recognise the urgent need for more research into this condition.
We are proud to be partnering with BRACE to champion their incredible mission, directly contribute to advancing dementia research, and further educate and support our communities.”
The £25,000 raised by Signature’s care homes will go towards funding a Dementia Research Nurse, who will play a critical role in supporting ongoing studies at the Bristol Brain Centre. BRACE’s work focuses on education, earlier diagnosis, new treatments, and ultimately, finding a cure for dementia.
Chris Williams, Chief Executive of BRACE, welcomed the partnership, saying:
“Dementia will affect one in two people in their lifetime, and that will not change until we have more and more research taking place.
Signature’s support for BRACE and the Dementia Research Nurse will play an invaluable role in supporting research that will take us one step closer to improved treatments and improved diagnosis for people living with this incurable condition.”
Each of Signature’s care homes will host exciting fundraising activities, ranging from bake sales and charity events to educational talks and dementia cafés, designed to engage residents, families, and local communities.
