In June, launched their Dementia Unseen campaign, asking supporters to join them in urging the Government to guarantee everyone the right to an early and accurate dementia diagnosis.
They said:
Half of people in the UK will be affected by dementia – by living with the condition, as a carer, or both. Yet 1-in-3 people with dementia don’t get a proper diagnosis.
That’s not just a crisis. It’s wrong.
Over 67,000 people across the UK stood with us and signed our petition calling for things to change.
On 12th November 2025, delivered your signatures to the doors of 10 Downing Street in London, alongside TV presenter Anneka Rice, Alzheimer’s Research UK ambassador Scott Mitchell and Alzheimer’s Research UK supporters Dineo Moema, from London, and Marian and Geoff Wheeler, from Milton Keynes. Together, we showed the Government that this issue cannot be ignored.
Speaking about why she supports the Dementia Unseen campaign and petition, Anneka Rice said: “I’m extremely proud to stand alongside Scott and Alzheimer’s Research UK’s supporters in calling for change, and if this campaign helps even one person avoid the pain, fear and confusion that comes with a delayed diagnosis, then it’s already made a difference.”
