My name is Steve Guinan and I am a former player at among others, Nottingham Forest, Northampton Town, Cheltenham Town and Hereford United. I currently work at The FA and this year they have partnered with Alzheimer's Society, a charity close to my heart.
The number of people living with dementia in the UK could fill Wembley Stadium 10 times over. The number whose lives are changed by the condition – carers, family, friends – is many millions higher.
I am organising a number of fundraising events this year to support their vital work, including prize draws for signed shirts like this one. September is World Alzheimer's Month so it's an ideal time to drive awareness this way.
This prize draw will close on World Alzheimer’s Day (on Thursday, September 21) at 11.59pm.
Football should be unforgettable
The Alzheimer's Society are The FA’s official charity partner. They are working closely together to help football fans with dementia remain part of the game.
Football can create many of life’s greatest moments, shared with friends and family.
But unfortunately, many people living with dementia will forget.
They are working closely with The FA to help football fans with dementia remain part of the game, advise on crucial dementia research, increase awareness of our support services and raise vital funds towards these services.
Why is the partnership so important
Dementia is the most worrying health condition for over half of people in the UK (53%), according to a survey by Alzheimer’s Society.
But despite this, the leading dementia charity also revealed one in five would not go to the GP for a diagnosis because they were scared about what it would mean for their future.
Nearly a fifth of those surveyed admitted they would not recognise the symptoms of dementia and more than half said there was stigma attached to the condition.
A quarter (27%) feel uncomfortable talking about dementia.
Alzheimer’s Society and The FA are working together to raise awareness and understanding of dementia and break down these barriers, so people seek a timely diagnosis and get the support they need.
About Alzheimer's Society
Alzheimer’s Society are working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. They do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future.
They’re there for everyone living with dementia
As a Society, they are made up of people with dementia, carers, trusted experts, campaigners, researchers and clinicians. They are the UK’s largest collective force of people with unparalleled knowledge and over 40 years of experience addressing the biggest challenges facing people living with dementia.
How your money is helping people affected by dementia
From the moment someone starts worrying about their symptoms, Alzheimer's Society can be there for them. Your support means that people don't have to face this condition alone, and that together, we can build a better tomorrow for everyone affected by dementia.
Support from day one
Dementia Advisers provide critical support to people throughout their experiences with dementia. For both people living with the condition and their carers, dementia can be a complex maze, but thanks to you, they can access expert support over the phone or in person.
The depth and breadth of knowledge that their Dementia Advisers have means that everyone affected by dementia can have personalised support that truly meets their needs.
But the path to a better world for people with dementia doesn't end there.
Your support means that they can look to the future as well, investing in ground-breaking research into better ways of treating and caring for people with dementia. It also means that we can campaign for a more equitable society, with over 160,000 of you adding your voices to the call.
