  • Help us Help Others

    We have reached millions, and helped educate, empower and motivate people towards better mental health thanks to donations. Current projects include Alzheimer’s prevention through the Cognitive Function Test and COGNITION and developing COGNITION for Smart Kids & Teens.

    As an independent charity with no ‘vested interest’ funding we rely exclusively on your support either by becoming a FRIEND or making a donation here. PLEASE NOTE if you chose to join us as a FRIEND, you also get access to our brain upgrade programme COGNITION. Giving us a donation through Enthuse helps support the work of the charity.

    The ‘Enthuse’ portal, which helps multiply your donation with Gift Aid, asks for a ‘tip’ which you can opt to set to ‘0’.

Your generous donations are crucial to help us continue our projects and campaigns. Please see below where your money will go and what we’re currently raising funds for.

COGNITION®

We know how to prevent Alzheimer’s – it’s just not profitable. Less than 1% is ‘in the genes’. This year, thanks to your donations, over half a million people will have done the Cognitive Function Test, which now include the Dementia Risk Index questionnaire, which shows you exactly what’s driving your risk, and COGNITION the ‘Brain Upgrade’ programme. All of this has been made possible thanks to your donations.

From our experience with COGNITION for dementia prevention we are planning to introduce COGNITION for Smart Kids in 2024 to help parents make the key changes to support their child’s mental health and maximise their potential. Our ‘New Frontiers in Autism’ MASTERCLASS is part of this Smart Kids project.

Why we need funding:

To build the research database and complete research to discover what combinations of changes most protect cognition.

Use research to learn how best to motivate people to make key positive changes.

Make inexpensive testing for omega-3, vitamin D, homocysteine and HbA1c(sugar) available.

Support less privileged people to join COGNITION and prescribe COGNITION through GPs.

Create COGNITION for Smart Kids and develop the Smart Kids Test to assess a child’s status. Fund the Smart Kids Project manager.

Promote the Autism MASTERCLASS far and wide.
