From cyber to broader tech and financi21 resilience. we are determined to protect and enhance the Society. Dementia is the UK'S biggest killer. Its impact on families is devastating. Its toll on the economy. the NHS and our health and social care system is crippling. Research we undertook this year proved not only the personal importance of early and accurate diagnosis. but demonstrated how it actually reduces the pressure and cost on the hèalth and social Care system.11 has been an influential step forward in making dementia a priorily among policymakers. Our 2024125 Annual Report is an opportunity to reflect on the impact we have made in improving the everyday lives of people affected by dementia, and on our continuing progress towards ending its devastation once and for all. In these pages VR share our successes, highlight the challenges and set backs we have faced, and outline the priorities we are taking into next year. Lastly, on behalf ol the Board and everyone at the Society. I want to acknowledge and thank Kate Lee. our former Chief Executive, who left the Society in June 2025. Kate was with us for five years. beginning at the start of the Covid 19 pandemic. That we emergéd from that period strengthened financially and culturally is a testament lo her skill, resilience and wisdom. Kate brought increased strategic locus to our work, and transformed our culture into a truly inclusive, eollaborative environment. In 2022 Kate was named Charity Leader of the Year by Charity Times, and in 2023 the Society was named as onè ol the Sunday Times Best Placès to Work.. In 2024, Alzheimer's Society was named Large Charity of the Year at the Third Sector Awards. Equally inspiring was the continuing progress in dementia research. The discovery of the first diseasé-modifying treatments lor Alzheimers disease- which originated in Alzheimers Society reséarch - reminds us that science will ultimately beat dementia. But to achieve this, it must not only lead to new drugs but ènsure that those treatments are widely and equitably available. It was therefore hugely encouraging to see the tsngoing Blood Biomarkèr Challengè le2d to the lirst-ever NHS- administered blood test for dementia an essential milestone on the path lo beating dementia. This year has been a time of considerable ¢h8nge and challenge. We welcomed a new government which is laced with competing demands 2nd a limitèd budget. We had the disappointing if understandable decision that the first ever disèase-modilying treatments for Alzheimer's Disease - approved as safe and effective - were not made available for use within the NHS. We have seen people 211ected by dementia continue to strLJggle in an overburdened health and social care system. As for the future, we should r)ever rest on our laurels. The world rèmains an uncomfortablè. uncértain placé. PLJblic and private finances are Stretched. We will ensure that every penny given lo the Alzheimer's Society is pul to good use. In the list of pressing health and social care challenges we will ensure that dementla Is seen as the litmus test ol integrated care. In the battle for effective affordable cures, we will fight to attract the best and brightest into dementia research. At the coallace ol caring and support for those impacted now by dementia we will be there providing care and support. In creating the conditions for a future where dementia no longer devastates lives, we will design. Innovate and showcasè new products and services. Until dementia is overcome, we will not rest. Thank you everyone who strives with us. 01 course, none of this growing momentum would be possible without thè dedication of 211 those who make it possible. I felt this especially keenly this year when I look part in Trek26 with other trustees. and I would like to sau a special thank you to everyone who donates their time, money and expertise to the Society. I truly believe it will take a society to beat dementia, and none of what follows would have been possible without each and every volunteer, donor, supporter and staff member. In spite of this, however, I have seen the Alzheimers Society rise to meet these challenges - providing indispen52ble help to people now, and tangible hope for a future where dementia no longer devastates lives. We worked hard throughout the year to make sure dementia got the prominence it deserved in the Government's 10- Year Plan for the NHS - vital work that bore fruit in July 2025 with the announcement of the first ever health and care framework for dementia. Our updated Help and Hope Strategy sets 2n evidence-b2sed vision of the dement12 landscape in 2030 and through to 2050. It prioritises how we prevent people reaching crisis, ensure equitable I want to thank my Board ol Trustee colleagues for a year ol tremendously hard work. Leading the country's biggest dementia charity is a privilege and we ale always mindful ol the responsibility we have. Underpinning our Dame Suzi L&ither Chair Overvlew Annual Report 2024125 Message from our Chief Executive In the UK. someone develops dementia every three minutes. That's why we are working so hard to make sure it Is never forgotten or ignorèd. Across the year wè used a varied mix of activity, from advertising campaigns to media coverage and even a dedicated national TV programme, lo make more peoplè aware of how dementia affects us all. At the heart of these was The Long Goodbye- a hard-hlttlng advert whlch prompted a timely debate about the public portrayal of dementia, while proving lo be our most powerful campaign to date. On a personal note. I completed my first ever Trek26 event, which was a powerful reminder of the collective effort it will take to drivè meaningful change. As I slep down as Chief Executive, I feel a great sense ol pride and a continued belief in the transformational work at thè Society. I truly believe the organisation is In a grèat position and ready for its next chapter. These pages tell the story of a challenging but successful year for Alzheimer's Society, an ambitious and bold organisation that brings people together from all the spheres of life dementia touches for one purpose - to beat dementia. When l arrived, back in March of 2020, no one could See what wè werè sèl to facè. and those early days of Covid tested the organisation to its core. But we fought back, 2nd I take great pride in the work we did together to step up for people affècted by dementia. Families need vital help and support, and it's been a challenging year as pressure grows on our health and social care system. We've had to develop Innovative ways to increase our reach and impact. That s why being able lo deliver high-qualily dementia support demonstrates the quality ol our work and our continued belief that we have to operate within the systems we need to change. We have reached over106.000 pèoplè directly with our support services, and had a 90% success rate in retaining or winning new dementia support conlracls. Everything we do at Alzheimer's Society is to improve the daily lives of people affected by dementia. Achieving our highest ever fundraising income this year- £116.8 million means we can support more people and fund more research that will change the outcome for millions of families affected. I want to say a personal thank you to our supporters. volunteers, employees. ambassadors. commissioners and paitners, and a special thank you to those affected by dementia who have helped sharpen my focus as Chief Executive. I've been honoured lo lead this organisation over the past five years and feel hugely confident in what it can and will go on to schieve lor people affected by dementia. In 2024, with a change in government. we wère determined to ensure dementia wasn't overlooked as poIiiic81 focus shifted. To ensure dementia has the priority it deserves we produced a groundbreaking report on the importance of diagnosis lor individuals and the health and social care systems. Evorything we have achieved and thè challenges we've overcome, is down to the amazing people who work with and volunteer lor us. Winning the Third Sector's 'Large Charity of the Year, was a significant achievement, and a welcome recognition ol the entire team's efforts. Kate Lee Chief Executive Officer That wasn't the only achievement we celebrated. Our Annual Conference focused on addressing the challenge of dementia and we heard from key speakers including Professor Sir Chris Witty and Helen Whately, then Minister of State lor Care. We strengthened the future ol research by launching three Doctoral Training Centres, with ar) investment of £9 million. We took a big Step towards increasing participation in dementia research through our Dementia Research Nurse programme. This is one ol our proudest achievements ol the year, and we saw recognition of the need lo improve dementia health and care under a new dementia framework in the 10-Ye8r Plan. This policy su¢¢ess is further reinlor¢ed by our investment in research that produced the lirst-ever NHS-administered blood test lor dementia.

Our Help and Hope Strategy At Alzheimer's Soclety, we know the steps It will take to create a future where dementia no longer devastates lives. As the UK'S biggest dementia charity, we're leading the way - taking those crucial steps together with people from all the areas of life dementia touches. Only together can we understand every aspect of dementia. And only together can we deliver transformational change, led by Alzheimer's Society as the only dementia charity giving support to those who need it, influencing systems to improve people's experiences, and funding groundbreaking research. Dementia support: Reaching more people through our services and resources especially those with the least ability to support themselves or each other. and the communities that rarely receive support and experience the detrimental effects of health inequality. Our Help and Hope Strategy is OLJr ambitious plan to create measurable impact across the many areas we need to influence to transform the current and future experience of dementia. Our four strategic priorities are- 1 Improving diagnosis.. Ensuring more people get an accurate diagnosis faster, and receive a seamless transition into effective ongoing support, including from Alzheimer's Society. Making dementia a priority: Driving an increase in understanding and awareness of dementia, and our role in delivering a solution. This includes influencing local and national decision-makers, as well as the public. Effective organisation.. Improving the effectiveness of our people, processes and technology to deliver services, influence, research, run the organisation safely and legally, and raise the funds we need to do all of this. too5, Repo -TrAnnual Report 202412Sc Key achievements in 2024/25 We delivered high-quality dementia support Anna Richardson and her lather.

During World Alzheimer's Month 2024, our Sport United Against Dementia campaign brouglit together the UK'S leading sports and broadcasters. This included the FA, Premier League, League Managers Association, European Tour Group and England and Wales Cricket Board, which combined fundraising and awareness-raising campaigns. A key example of this approach was'Love. Loss and Dementia,, an hour-long TV documentary presented by Anna Richardson that aired on Channel 4 in October 2024. Funded by Alzheimer's Society, the programme used Anna's personal story to highlight a range of dementia experiences. including challenging symptoms and end-of-life. Ip For the first time in the sector, Alzheimer's Society activity was amplified simultaneously by sports broadcasters TNT Sports, Sky Sports and DAZN. The documentary exceeded expectations in terms of engagement, and the surrounding promotional campaign invited viewers io share their stories, including via an innovative 'Behind Closed Doors, installation in London {pictured) and Manchester. This helped boost engagement further while driving positive sentiment towards the Society. Our work across sport and broadcasting in September 2024 reached an estimated audience of15 million people with vital information about dementia, to increase understanding of the condition, reduce stigma, and help more people get a crucial diagnosis. We had over 4 million social media impressions from the campaign and 182 pieces of national and regional media coverage, featuring in The Times, The Guardian, Sky News, This Morning, Stylist and Grazia, amongst others.

Going concern The Trustees review annually the cuirent and anticipated future financial position of the Society and its subsidiary bodies 1.the Group") with a view to determining whether all elèments of thè Group can continuè to operate as a going concern. This review encompasses a detailed review of current Income. expenditure and cash positions and the projections ol these lor the forthcoming five-year period., and analysis of tho various risks it Is envisaged the Society could face in the short and medium term, how these might impact the live-year projections, and how the Society is placed to mitigate them. The Society has one joint venture called Alzheimer's Brain B2nk UK Icomp2ny no.. 057629601 which is eqLJity accounted. The Society's annual share of the profits or losses from its joint venture. being a gain of £61k12024'. £nill is included in the statement of financial activities I'SOFA'I and the Group share ol the net assets is Included on the balance sheet. No separate SOFA has been prepared for the parent charity as is permitted by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities SORP. The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Group. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are eliminated in full. | Th e cor)clusion ol this analysis has given the Trustees a reasonable expectation that the Group has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and rhat there are no material uncertainties that c811 into doubt the ability of the Group lo continue as a going concern. The Trustees continue to prepare the consolidated financi21 statements on a going concern basis. Income All income, restricted or unrestricted, is accounted lor on a receivable basis and is reported gross of related expenditure. Income is recognised in the SOFA when the Society bècomes entitled to the income. when the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy and there is probability ol receipt. Where entitlement is contingent upon the Society undertaking activities to earn the income. it is deferred until these conditions are met. Basis of consolidation The financial statements Include the assets. liabilities and funds, and the statement of financial activities of the Society, including Ils active subsidiaries. All subsidiaries are wholly owned. The active subsidiaries are.. Flnan¢lal statements Annual Report 2024125 69 1. Accounting policies (continued) Grant income received without conditions is included within the SOFA undèr donations and legacies. whereas those with conditions are included within chaiitable aciivilies. recognised using the effective interest method. Dividends are recognised once the dividend h2$ bèen declared. and notification has been received ol the value ol ihe dividend due. Where investments are managed by external investment managers, this is normally upon notification by the investment manager ol the dividènd income. Legacy income Contract income Contract income is earned through the delivery of the specified goods and services. Income is accrued where services have been provided before the end of the year. Legacy income is recognised either at the point that the future income from an estate meets the recognition criteria detailed below or, lor legacies not previously recognised due to not meeting these criteria, the point that a cash payment is received with third part confirmation ol our entitlement to ihe funds. Expenditure Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is reported gross of related income. Where appropriate, it has been allocated directly to charitable activities or raising funds. Ir)direct costs have been allocated to activity categories in proportion to the staff numbers undertaking each activity. Some Alzheimer's Society activities are classified as exempt or non-business activities lor the purposes ol VAT, so the Society is unable to reclaim all the VAT that it suffers on its operating costs. Expenditure in these financial statements is therefore shown inclusive of an VAT paid which is not recoverable. Income from trading activities Residuary legacies are recognised as income receivable once probate has been granted, notification has been received and where they can be reliably valued e.g., using draft estate accounts. Residuary legacies with a life interest ale recognised upon the death of the life tenant where legal title has passed to the Society. Pecuniary legacies are recognised as income receivable or)ce probate has been granted and notification has been received. An assumed element of non-re¢overy of the accrued legacy amount. due to either disputes or material changes in realised estate values once assets are sold, is provided for. See critical accounting judgements and key sources of eslimation ur)certainty. Income from trading activities is recognised when received or receivable whichever is earlier, unless it relates to a future period in which case it is deferred. Income received from raffles and lotteries is recognised when the draw is made. Income received from future raffles and lottery draws is deferred until the draw lakes place. Donation income Donations ol cash are recognised as income once the Society has the right to receivè the donation. it is probable that the economic benefits will be received, and the amount of the donation can be measured reliably. Gift Aid receivable is recognised based on the amounts recoverable at the point at which it is claimable.11 Gift Aid is received In respe¢l ol a restricted donation, then the Gift Aid is also restricted. Govèrnance costs are those incurred in delivering the Society s strategy and those incurred to Comply with constitutional and statutory requirements. This includes related professional lees and a proportion of the salary costs of relevant staff. Grant income Grants receiv8ble 8re recognised as Income when the Society bècomes entitled to the funds. there is probability of receipt, and the amount can be quantified. Grants received lor a specific purpose are accounted for as restricted funds. Grant commitments Donated goods and services are valued and included as both income and expenditure at the point of receipt, at a value the Society estimates it would pay for equivalent goods or services if sourced from the open market. Grants payable are accounted for on an accruals basis. Research grants payable to third parties are recognised in the a¢¢ounts when a Constructive obligation arises, lor example where a formal agreement is made to commit funds to a specific project. The formal commitment arises when the grant award letter is sent to the recipient. Payment of funds associated with grant expenditure may be made at a later date. Grant income is only deferred where the donor imposes fulfilment conditior)s on the income that prevent it being recognised on receipt. When an onward grant commitment has been recognised, grant income is recognised to match the commitment. Investment income Investment income consists of interest receivable and dividend Income. Interest receivable on financial assets is Flnan¢lal statements Annual Report 2024125 70 1. Accounting policies (continued) Tangible and intangible fixed assets Investments, including alternatives, bonds and cash held as part of the investment portfolio, ale held at lair V21ue at the ba12nce sheet date, with gains and losses being recognised within income and expenditure. Investments In subsidiary undertakings are held at cost less impairment.

Leasehold improvements over the life of the lease Fixtures and fittings 25°A per annum Office equipment 25% per annum Computèr equipment 33.3/tr per anrnum Computer software 33.3% per annum Contractual commitments Where the Society has entered into binding contracts which roquire making payments. oxpenditure is recogr)ised once the Supplier ol the goods or services has performed their part of the contract. This may not be directly aligr)ed to the cash payments made under the contract. Anw discounts are applied over the term ol the contract lor example, when property leases contain a rent-free period. Stock Stock. which consists mainly of promotional goods. publications, gifts and Christmas cards, is stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete. Saas are not capitalised but are expensed in the SOFA. The Trustees undertake impairment reviews in accordance with FRS102. Items costing less than £2.500 are expensed immediately to the SOFA. Termination benefits Termination payments are payable when employment is lerminaled by the Society before the normal retirement date or end of employment Contract. Termination costs are recognised at the earlier ol when the Socièty can no longer withdraw the offer of the benefits or when the Society recognises any relatèd restructuring costs. Pension costs Contributions to the Society's defined conlrlbutlon pension scheme are charged to the SOFA in the year in which they become payable. Contributions are reflected in expènditure on the same b2sis as 2n individual's salary allocation.

In preparing the separate financi81 statements ol the Society, advantage has been taken ol the following disclosure exomptions avai18ble in FRS102.. Funds No cash flow statement has been presented for the Parent Charity. No disclosure has been given for the aggregate rèmuneration of the key management porsonnel of thè Parent Charity as their remuneration is included in the totals for the Group as a whole. Restricted funds are those specified by the donor only to be used for particular purposes, within the objectives of the Society or those raised to be used for a specific purpose or in a specific geographical area. Unrestricted funds are funds that can be freely used al the discretion of the Trustees in accordance with the charitable objectives of the Society. For 2025 the appropriate value is 5%12024.. 5/1 ol the accrued balance1£1.5 million), 8 l°A change to this provision value would therefore increase or decrease legacy income by £0.3 million. Legac accrued income is presented in Note 9 to the financial statements. Designated funds are funds set aside lor specific purposes by the Trustees out ol unrestricted funds. Details ol the designated funds held as at 31 March 2025 are provided in Note 14. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty In the view of the Trustees, no other assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets and liabilities at the b21ance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year. The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amoLJnts recognised in the financial statements are described in the accounting policies and are summarised below. Two main provisions are made in the accounts where there is estimation uncertainty.. General funds are unrestricted funds less the balance ol designated funds. Agency arrangements Property dilapidation costs and charges that may be incurred on the termination ol leases have been provided. Where a stripping out of any changes made are required in accordance with the lease obligations, a provision of £17.6712024.. £17.16) per square foot has been provided. Where redecoration and other remedial works are required. a provision has been made based on prior actual costs. Where the Society holds funds as an agent lor a consortium, the balances and commitments of the consortium partners are not recognised in the financial statements. Individual members of the consortium will record this separately in their own financial statements. The Society provides administrative support to the arrangement. Details of consortium arrangements to which the Society is party are disclosed in Note 19 to the financial statements. The value of the provision has decreased due tts office closures over the course of the year. There was a reduction ol the overall property portfolio from 27 offices last year lo 17 as at 31 March 2025. The provision has increased by 3% to account for inflation.
