The writer and broadcaster, Sally Magnusson, has voiced her support for the Neurosciences Foundation.

Sally says she endorses the work of the Foundation because of the need to highlight the importance of brain health and to work towards better understanding of conditions affecting the brain.

Her mother, Mamie Baird, lived with Alzheimer’s disease for many years and the experience prompted Sally to campaign for greater understanding of the condition and for new treatments.

She was awarded an MBE in 2023 for services to people with dementia and their carers.

The chairman of the Neurosciences Foundation, Dr Sarah Deans, said:

We are absolutely delighted that Sally Magnusson has agreed to endorse the Foundation.  Sally’s long-standing commitment to championing brain health, together with her deep personal understanding of these issues, makes her support for us especially meaningful.

We are a small charity and Sally’s endorsement will make a real difference in helping us to share and celebrate the impactful neuroscience research and education work we fund.  We are very grateful to Sally for her support.
