Our mission
Our mission is to transform the landscape of dementia forever. Until the day we find a cure, we will strive to create a society where those affected by dementia are supported and accepted, able to live in their community without fear or prejudice.

Our new values
Our People feel a strong connection to what we stand for and how we deliver for people affected by dementia. It's the glue that binds us together. However, that doesn't mean that they can never change.

As we evolve and raise our ambitions, our values need to evolve too. New challenges require new ways of working, thinking and problem solving – while retaining what makes us a special place to work.​​
