Not having the privilege to access the skills mentioned above would severely impact a player's ability to play.

This is one of the reasons why Binq supports Alzheimer’s Society

Alzheimer’s Society offers help and hope to anyone affected by dementia. For far too long, people with dementia have had to struggle through their condition, without meaningful treatment or adequate support. Alzheimer’s Society campaign for a better and brighter future for all – one where dementia is a priority for local and national governments. Whether this is overhauling the social care system to make it fairer and easier to access or lobbying for the systemic changes that will improve diagnosis experiences, we’re tackling the major issues that people with dementia face.

Alzheimer’s Society invest in groundbreaking research, to find better ways of diagnosing, treating, and caring for people with dementia. Research will beat dementia – disease-modifying treatments which give people more time, and better time with their loved ones could be available on the NHS as early as 2026. But we need to increase momentum to give people with different types of dementia the treatment options that will end the devastation caused by this condition.

Until there’s a cure, people with dementia and their families will need meaningful and personalised support. Dedicated Dementia Advisers are available seven days a week over the phone and through services in local communities across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland to offer compassionate support, information, and to intervene before people reach a point of crisis.

Alzheimer’s disease is a physical illness which damages a person’s brain. This eventually causes dementia. For over forty years, Alzheimer's Society has been doing wonderful work to help change, and improve the lives of those affected by dementia
