Charity Partnership 2024-2026
Dementia is the biggest health and social challenge of our time
EDF joins Alzheimer’s Society and vows to help end the devastation of dementia. The charity are committed to ending the devastation caused by dementia, providing help and hope to those living with dementia today. They provide expert dementia support services, deliver ground-breaking research and lead national campaigns to make dementia a priority across the UK. We want everyone living with dementia to access the right support and to have the best quality of life for as long as possible.
Dementia is devastating and it can affect anyone. 1 in 3 people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime. And over half of the UK population know someone with the condition. Dementia gets worse over time and can cause someone to lose their memory, independence and identity. People affected by dementia are often cut off from the help they need, and accessing the right energy and customer support can seem like an impossible challenge.
Accessible and inclusive energy matters
EDF will raise awareness amongst employees and customers, increase customer support, and further develop inclusive policies and processes.
In addition to this, they commit to raising a whopping £300,000 through employee fundraising and a further £150,000 in donations, to support Alzheimer’s Society services and ground-breaking dementia research. This is where you come in! Together we are help and hope for everyone living with dementia.
