While Florence Pugh is widely admired for her bold, emotionally resonant performances on screen, her work off-screen continues to reflect the same depth, conviction, and purpose. In 2025, Pugh joined the fight against one of the world’s most urgent and complex health challenges — dementia — by supporting Race Against Dementia, a global research charity founded by Sir Jackie Stewart.
Dementia currently impacts more than 55 million people worldwide, and the numbers continue to rise. The disease doesn’t just affect memory — it disrupts identity, independence, and emotional connection, leaving millions of families struggling to cope with the gradual loss of loved ones. For Florence, this isn’t just a health crisis — it’s a deeply human one.
Rather than simply raising awareness, Pugh took action. She launched her own fundraising team as part of Race Against Dementia’s global campaign, inviting fans and followers to join her in supporting groundbreaking scientific research. Through “Support Florence Pugh’s Team”, she has helped raise both funding and visibility for the charity’s mission: to accelerate innovative dementia research and find effective treatments faster.
Race Against Dementia stands out for its bold, Formula 1–inspired model. It funds early-career scientists and research teams who challenge convention, take calculated risks, and work at the speed of the sport from which it draws its inspiration. Florence’s involvement helps bring this energy into the mainstream — where the urgency of this disease deserves to be.
Known for using her platform to advocate for mental health, women’s rights, and underrepresented voices, Pugh once again proves that her influence is about more than applause. It’s about change.
Florence Pugh’s support for Race Against Dementia is not only a personal commitment — it’s a public statement. A reminder that hope is something we build, together, through science, compassion, and action.
