Research is central to the Charity's mission and through our special trust, Research into Ageing, we fund some of the best biomedical research into health in later life.
We spend about £2 million every year on research that aims to improve the quality of life of older people.
The Disconnected Mind
Our flagship research programme uses as its basis the 1947 Scottish Mental Survey - the most comprehensive study of its kind ever undertaken - and aims to uncover the causes of mental deterioration in later life and find ways to prevent it.
