Innovative projectsAt Innovations in Dementia we believe that with the right support and opportunities, people with dementia can communicate, engage, participate and continue to be part of relationships and communities, no matter how advanced their dementia. Innovations in Dementia CIC will work with people with dementia, partner organisations and professionals to help people with dementia to keep control of their lives by testing new and positive projects and adopting a civil rights approach to overcoming discrimination. If you have ideas for new innovative projects for people with dementia or are interested in partnering with us on an innovative project please email ideas@innovationsindementia.org.uk Some of our areas of interest:People with dementia and their communities - find out more about projects where people with dementia have active roles to play in the communities in which they live Start Making Sense - accessible information for people
