Almost £5k raised for BRACE at CIBSE Dinner

BRACE Dementia Research was honoured to be the beneficiary at the CIBSE South West Regional Dinner, held on Friday evening, in Bristol.

The event brought together engineers, manufacturers, and construction industry professionals from across the region for an evening of connection and celebration, while raising funds for dementia research.

Thanks to the generosity of attendees, an impressive £4,630 was raised in support of local research in the South West of England and Wales. This amount could fund more than 280 hours of PhD research. As a small organisation, this level of support has a significant and tangible impact.

Liberty Harrison, interim CEO of BRACE, also gave a speech about the importance of dementia research.

During the evening, guests heard about the scale of dementia’s impact - with 1 in 3 people born in the UK today expected to develop the condition - and about the importance of investing in research to improve early diagnosis and develop new treatments. With many guests sharing personal experiences of loved ones affected by the condition.

Huge thanks to the CIBSE South West Regional Committee for selecting the charity as this year’s beneficiary and to everyone who contributed on the night.

Events like this play a crucial role in advancing research and bringing us closer to earlier diagnosis, better treatments and, one day, a cure.
