The Brain Health Fund supports and advises current and retired players who are suffering from conditions such as poor memory, dementia, Alzeheimer’s disease and other cognitive impairment via a partnership with Dementia UK.
Through the Brain Health Fund, players and their families have free and confidential access to the expertise of a dedicated Dementia UK Admiral Nurse at monthly clinics held in key locations across the sport’s heartlands.
Some of the players who reach out for support will have symptoms brought on by events that happened during their playing careers; others will simply be feeling the effects of old age.
Our support for this great initiative is non-judgmental: the Lions Association is always ready and willing to help players in need.
