The programme is looking for people who have ideas for a product or service that will help change lives of people affected by dementia.  The innovation could be a simple product that makes an everyday task easier for a person living with dementia, or perhaps an idea for a new service or way of working for care home staff.

The Accelerator Programme offers a 12-month partnership including investment and the opportunity to work with The Alzheimer’s Society’s award-winning innovation team.

Applications for the programme will be shortlisted using a range of criteria, including:

• Originality of the product or service
• Impact on people affected by dementia
• Desirability and feasibility of the product or service for people affected by dementia
• Scalability
• Financial sustainability of the product or service.
