All donations from individuals are donated directly to organisations supporting people impacted by dementia. Funds are distributed on an annual basis to organisations which:

Promote and protect the good health of people living with dementia, e.g. helping people with dementia to live independently for as long as possible, and as the disease progresses ensuring they have a good quality of life and receive high standards of care.
Provide support to families and carers of people living with dementia.
Carry out research into the nature, causes, diagnosis, prevention, treatment and care of all forms of dementia.
Campaign on dementia issues.

We focus on work in Somerset and the South West, but also support work on a national level. The organisations are agreed by trustees for each round of funding; we work closely with our recipient organisations to select projects where we feel our donation will have the maximum possible impact.

As Remembering Not to Forget is run entirely by volunteers, we don’t have any overhead costs so every penny we raise goes directly to projects supporting people impacted by dementia.
