| Opportunity: Can you make a difference? (Sponsored feature) |  The Design Council is partnering with the Department of Health to work towards improving the lives of people with dementia and their carers. With that in mind they are running an innovation competition, Living Well with Dementia, to challenge the UK's leading designers, technologists and social entrepreneurs to come together to improve dementia care. They're looking for your time, plus your team and your ideas. In return you'll receive a slice of £360,000 and professional support. There is more information available now on their website. |
