Why this moment matters

Dementia risk develops over decades, and understanding it requires studies that follow people for the long term – observing how brain health changes, how risk develops, and how prevention might work.

The PROTECT study has been running for more than ten years, engaging tens of thousands of participants.

Some of the most important breakthroughs in dementia research only emerge over time.

What your legacy enables

A gift in your Will can help to:

  • Sustain longitudinal research
  • Support early detection technologies reaching clinical practice
  • Fund future breakthroughs
  • Protect brain health for generations to come

Legacy gifts provide stability - allowing researchers to discover, plan and grow. They ensure that progress continues long after funding cycles and short-term priorities shift.

We understand that friends and family come first

A legacy gift is not just a donation. It is an investment in a future where families face this condition differently. If you choose to remember Exeter in your Will, you can do so in a way that reflects your wishes and circumstances.
