Hi everyone,
We've had the following request from our Innovation team:
Alzheimer’s Society Accelerator Programme supports the development of ideas into products or services that can benefit thousands of people living with dementia. Successful applicants will be supported by an expert innovation buddy from Alzheimer’s Society and an investment of up to £100,000 to develop their idea during a 12 month partnership. Applicants’ ideas can be a product or a service that will be developed and evaluated to ensure that it will improve the lives of people living with dementia and is ready to scale up to support larger groups of people.
How can you help?
We are looking for people living with dementia to review and give feedback on the application ideas. You will be asked to review the ideas and answer three questions about whether you think the product or service will have a positive impact for people affected by dementia, and whether you think we should invest. The judging panel will be given this feedback to consider alongside the applications.
When will the reviewing of applications take place?'
The applications will be available for review from Monday 9 October until Friday 20 October.
Next Steps…
