Innovations in Dementia is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC). People with dementia are at the heart and start of all our work. We promote a positive but realistic view of dementia, demonstrating that, although it is life changing, it does not have to be life ending. We support people with dementia to live with hope and keep control of their lives.

We want to influence how others engage with people with dementia, and we provide training and consultancy.  We run many innovative projects, often in partnership with universities, public bodies or charitable funders.

Dementia Diaries gives a voice to people with dementia through more than three thousand audio and video diaries.

Dementia Diaries brings together the many different experiences of living with dementia.

Diarists want to change the way people think about dementia, and about people with dementia.

We hope that the diaries inspire and inform people affected by dementia, and their wider communities and organisations.

Diaries can be used publicly in awareness raising and by researchers looking for insight into the lived experience of dementia.
