Tesco has announced it will be helping to raise funds and awareness for people with dementia.
In 2021, almost 11,300 people will be living in Norfolk with dementia that has gone undiagnosed. Now a new partnership between Tesco and the Alzheimer’s Society aims to raise £5m for people with dementia and to help to raise diagnosis levels from just 34pc.
The Tesco Charity of the Year partnership will fund research, support professionals to help those living with the condition, and a dementia community roadshow to visit Norfolk on its tour around the UK.
