Neil Hunt is to step down as chief executive of the Alzheimer's Society after seven years in the job.
Hunt, who used to work in social care and is a former NSPCC director of child protection, played a key role in the development of the national dementa strategy for England and for putting dementia on the map across the UK.
A key milestone was the society's Dementia UK report in 2007 - produced in conjunction with King's College London and the London School of Economics - which created a lot of momentum for the reforms announced in the dementia strategy.
