innovative ideas to improve quality
of life for people with dementia
Innovations in Dementia is a community interest company.
We work nationally with people with dementia, partner organisations and
professionals with the aim of developing and testing projects that will
enhance the lives of people with dementia.
Outcomes from such projects will influence approaches to dementia care
and support in order that they are more creative, positive and enabling.
We aim to work collaboratively with people with dementia in all our work.
We provide advice and training to other organisations to help them develop
more positive care and support services for people with dementia.
We believe that people with dementia should:
- Be able to experience all that life has to offer
- Receive appropriate and sensitive support to access opportunities
and learn new skills
- Be part of opportunities and decisions that affect their lives

Engaging with a wide range of people with dementia
— come and join us?
At Innovations in Dementia we try to involve people with dementia in
everything that we do. Some people choose to get actively involved - they
become a member of our ThinkTank or work with us on our innovative projects.
We also have good links with people with dementia in support groups,
day care centres, and care homes. In this way, we hope that we can represent
the views and wishes of a wide range of people with dementia - not only
people who enjoy speaking up or attending meetings.
We are able to come out and meet people in their services, often working
with people with dementia in a group. Importantly, we try to value the
contributions that people with dementia make to the work of Innovations
in Dementia. For example, we bought a greenhouse as a 'thank you' for
a service we regularly partner with in the South West.
If you run or use a dementia service and would like to become a 'consultation
partner' with Innovations in Dementia, please contact Rachael. Email:
rachael@innovationsindementia.org.uk
Your involvement can be as big or as small as you want.
