IUAD is an Alzheimer's Society movement created and championed by leaders from across the insurance sector.
About us
#IUAD is an Alzheimer's Society movement created and led by volunteers from all across the #Insurance industry. We will raise £10m to fund vital research to take on the 21st century's biggest killer. We know that hundreds of thousands of our customers, co-workers and colleagues are directly and indirectly affected by this remorseless condition which currently has no cure and very limited treatments. This has to change. Insurance is a powerful force for protection and cohesion in society, as well as a major employer of thousands of talented, committed professionals, from Data Scientists to Claims Handlers, from Communications to Underwriting. Whether it is advising SMEs on Cyber Risk, or insuring whole countries against natural disaster, working together to tackle the world's trickiest problems is what we do! Share your stories, ideas, and energies with #IUAD and help us make change, and bring hope closer.

The IUAD campaign officially reaching its initial £10 million fundraising target is still HUGE news for us all here at Alzheimer's Society! 🎉 Our wonderful Chief Executive, Kate Lee OBE has shared her thoughts on the exciting announcement... 💙 “I don’t think one industry has ever got behind a charity and cause quite like the insurance industry has with Insurance United Against Dementia. The campaign has made a huge impact – securing funding to create new services during the Covid-19 pandemic, enabling investment in world-leading research centres, and galvanising an incredible amount of fundraising and awareness for dementia. £10 million is a huge amount to raise over seven years – and we’re so incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported us from the very beginning to where we are today. This generation has the potential to put an end to the devastation caused by dementia – but only if we work together.” It has only been possible to reach this incredible milestone with thanks to the generosity of businesses, individuals, and events across the industry, who have UNITED as part of an unprecedented collaboration to end the devastation caused by dementia. THANK YOU. 💙 You can read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/eZW7NqCu

We are incredibly grateful to have a fantastic ongoing partnership with Crawford & Company. Their team have been so enthusiastic and dedicated over the years, taking part in multiple fundraising treks across the country, as well as many other fundraising and awareness activities in support of the Insurance United Against Dementia campaign. 💙 We are only a few weeks into 2025 and the team already have some exciting things planned for 2025, including their amazing Director of Software Engineering taking on the iconic #LondonMarathon this April. Jay Dunk is generously raising vital funds for Alzheimer's Society with every step he takes - both in those gruelling training runs and in every mile on the big day too. Jay said "Alzheimer’s and dementia will affect nearly every single one of us directly or indirectly. I choose to help raise funds against the impact of dementia, and support research to help defeat it - as like many others, my family has seen the lasting impact of the condition." https://lnkd.in/e7dfqdzM Please do sponsor Jay if you can and share your messages of encouragement below! We will all be behind you on 27th April Jay! 🎉 🏃♂️ 💙 #iuad #insurance #insuranceunitedagainstdementia #charity #alzheimerssociety #dementia

💫 💙 Happy New Year 💙 💫 As we step into 2025, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on the incredible impact the insurance industry has made over the past 12 months. Because of your dedication, kindness and passion, we: - Had the most successful Insurance Day for Dementia EVER - raising over £242,000 to fund vital dementia research - have now created over 18,000 Dementia Friends in the industry - Are now incredibly close to hitting our initial Insurance United Against Dementia fundraising £10 million goal - Have seen colleagues unite to take on many challenges such as the Insure Trek across the Pyrenees, epic cross country cycles and many more - Were recognised by the industry as winners of the inaugural Insurance Collaboration Award at the Insurance Post British Insurance Awards and, most importantly, we have taken incredible steps forwards this year with not one, but two disease-modifying treatments being approved for safe use in the UK. This means we are one step closer to a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. This has been possible with thanks to people like YOU. Looking ahead to 2025, we are filled with hope and determination to achieve even more together 💙 Thank you to every single person and firm in the industry for playing an important part in our journey so far here at Alzheimer's Society. We hope to continue to UNITE with you in 2025. Wishing you, your loved ones, and your colleagues across the industry a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year 💫 #iuad #insuranceunitedagainstdementia #charity #2025 #happynewyear #newyear #alzheimerssociety #dementia #alzheimers #insurance

What an incredible afternoon last week at Wembley Stadium for our annual Pitch Day, thanks to the Alzheimer's Society long-standing charity partnership with The Football Association. Teams from Arch Insurance International, Rothesay, NFP, an Aon company and friends from outside the Insurance industry at Mail Metro Media came together to play the beautiful game on the iconic pitch, all giving a stellar performance. These memories should be unforgettable. But for those living with dementia, this isn’t the case, because 1 in 3 people born today will go on to develop it in their lifetime. A big thank you to our incredible partners and their supporters – the generous donations and awareness raised will have tremendous impact for those affected by dementia. #wembley #pitchday #charity #dementia #alzheimerssociety #insurance #iuad #insuranceunitedagainstdementia
