This year’s predictor is in aid of Alzheimer’s Society. Alzheimer’s disease represents a profound, slow-moving crisis in global health, acting as a relentless thief of memory, identity, and independence. It is the most common cause of dementia, a term covering various progressive brain disorders, accounting for an estimated 60% to 70% of the millions of cases worldwide. As of 2026, over 55 million people are living with dementia globally, and this number is projected to skyrocket, reaching 139 million by 2050.
The Alzheimer’s Society is the UK’s leading dementia care and research charity, providing expert support to people affected by dementia while campaigning for change and funding research into a cure. They offer practical advice, and emotional support services, including a support line, online community, and dementia advisers.
