**The Galen and Hilary Weston Foundation** (formerly The Selfridges Group Foundation) funds research and support that will transform the landscape of treatment and care for those affected by neurodegenerative diseases of aging. It pursues this vision by investing in pioneering projects that deliver life-changing outcomes for people living with these diseases and their carers. In their work, the Foundation’s trustees and staff uphold the values of impact, innovation, rigour, and collaboration. Since its founding eight years ago, the Foundation has been an instrumental supporter of research, with a particular focus on novel biomarkers, and it is currently developing a funding for support program.

The Program Director will also help to develop and execute The Galen and Hilary Weston Foundation’s dementia care program. The Hilary and Galen Weston Foundation focuses on lifestyle approaches to brain health as well as on the development of tools to treat and better understand neurodegenerative diseases of aging. It also funds programs that support people living with dementia and their caregivers.
