People with dementia and unpaid carers wanted for project looking at community involvement  

Researchers on the ENACT-DEM project (Centring the lived experience of dementia within policy, practice and community development) are looking for people living with dementia and unpaid carers to participate in their research. 

ENACT-DEM is an ESRC-funded international research project led by a team at the University of Stirling in collaboration with colleagues in London, Canada and Germany.  

The team behind ENACT-DEM say: 

“The project aims to understand how people living with dementia, individually, within their networks and neighbourhoods, overcome exclusion and participate in their communities. The project goal is to understand the benefits, challenges, and outcomes for people living with dementia and unpaid carers’ participation in community development and the policy and practice that supports it.”
