The 1987 Foundation

In 2018, BRACE launched an initiative called the 1987 Foundation. This was created as a membership organisation to thank all supporters who pledge a future Gift in their Will to BRACE and to supporters who have made a significant contribution to the charity.

BRACE was established in 1987 and real progress in the fight against dementia has been made since then. The charity has played an important part in research projects that improve understanding of the causes of dementia, earlier diagnosis, and the search for new and more effective treatments.

Gifts in Wills make research happen!

A gift in your Will could support a PhD student at the beginning of their research career, help fund a dementia research nurse, fund an early Alzheimer's test or the South West Dementia Brain Bank. A gift in your Will could help find a cure for dementia.

The Benefits:

To say thank you, we invite everyone who has pledged to leave a gift in their Will to BRACE to an annual, in-person event. You'll have the chance to meet the BRACE team and researchers and connect with other supporters passionate about dementia research.

Opportunities to meet our world-class BRACE-funded dementia research scientists, BRACE Chair of Directors and CEO.

Regular updates from BRACE on our events, research, and progress within the wider dementia research sector
