Inspire Fund
Funds outreach organisations in the United Kingdom to deliver dementia risk-reduction education in underserved communities.
Inspire Fund is Alzheimer's Research UK's public-engagement grant for brain health and dementia risk reduction in underserved UK communities. It sits alongside the charity's research awards but pays for outreach rather than laboratory work. The grant is fixed at GBP 5,000 and runs on an annual cycle. Eligible projects must reach underserved audiences such as minority ethnic, marginalized, or socioeconomically disadvantaged communities, and they must build understanding of brain health in a prevention or risk-reduction frame. The charity prioritises the devolved nations, the North West, Yorkshire, the North East, the Midlands, and East Anglia. Universities, research organisations, and nonprofits can apply; commercial ventures, dementia care services, activity outside the UK, research-focused work, and business-as-usual programming are excluded. The route is best for community-facing teams with a focused audience and a practical delivery plan. Awardees must file a final evaluation report and keep detailed budget records, so the winning applications are likely to be specific about reach, audience fit, and how the work will be measured.
