Defying Dementia is a campaign founded at the university; to support research into drugs and development relating to dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases. Our society works to support this campaign by hosting various fundraising events. Another of our aims is to make a more Dementia friendly campus by offering Dementia Friends sessions in conjunction with the Alzheimer’s Society. We also offer several volunteering opportunities including the Bay Dementia Hub, Join Dementia Research (JDR), and the chance to volunteer within the Dementia ward at Lancaster hospital. Our volunteering opportunities are a fantastic way to gain experience and to try your hand at something you may not have previously had a chance to.
