Description of initiative

BOLD | Bringing Out Leaders in Dementia is a social leadership programme for people living with dementia and those who work or live with them. They use a mixture of different creative methods to encourage creativity, innovation and personal flourishing. Many participants are artists who in turn will take the methods into care homes and communities. After taking part in the bold social leadership programme partners join the bold community to collaborate, learn from each other, support and co-create with a shared purpose of working towards a world where everyone with dementia can flourish.
