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
