Dementia Sanjay Patel, interim Chief Executive Officer for YCCC, said:
“Dementia affects millions of people across our country, many of whom still do not recognise early signs of the condition, how to get support or the options available to them.
“Yorkshire County Cricket Club is delighted to be working with Alzheimer’s Society to raise awareness during the One Day International against Australia at Headingley Cricket Ground.
There are currently around one million people living with dementia in the UK, enough to fill Headingley Cricket Ground almost 55 times over.
During World Alzheimer’s Month, Alzheimer’s Society has brought together leading sporting organisations, clubs, individuals, and governing bodies including the England and Wales Cricket Board, the Football Association, Premier League, and DP World Tour to make a meaningful and long-lasting difference to people affected by dementia, now and for generations to come.
