Dementia Research
Dementia is one of the biggest challenges we face today. The number of people with Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and other types of dementia, is set to double over the next 30 years.
Research offers hope. It is only through research that we can understand what causes the disease, develop effective treatments, improve care and hopefully one day find a cure.

Domestic Violence
Domestic Violence is on the increase since COVID-19. If you are experiencing abuse, it is not your fault. You are not alone!
Imperial College London Department of Primary Care & Public Health is conducting a study to investigate the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of members of the community about domestic violence. Raising public awareness will help prevent abuse. The survey aims to educate our community, leading to a better understanding of the various forms of abuse and how this can affect children and adults.

EXCEED
EXCEED (Extended Cohort for E-health, Environment and DNA) looks at the causes of long-term health conditions by collecting information about genes and lifestyle. More than 10,000 people have already taken part.
They now aim to understand why some people develop more severe Covid-19 than others, and the impact of the pandemic on long-term conditions. This will help develop new ways to prevent or treat Covid-19 and long-term conditions during and after the pandemic. Minority ethnic and migrant communities have had higher rates of Covid-19 hospital admissions. To understand why this is happening they especially encourage volunteers to join us from these communities.
