By the end of January 2016, £165 million had been raised towards the Campaign for Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾, with gifts of nearly £15.6 million being agreed since October 2015.

A major success has been the pledging by a coalition of major UK retailers, led by Iceland, to donate the funds received from the new carrier bag levy towards the new Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ Dementia Research Institute.
