Aida has just been awarded UCL Global Engagement Funds (GEF) for a project to co-produce positive narratives about dementia. The GEF are an exciting seed funding scheme for all sorts of global engagement ideas.

The aim being to co-create an Oliver Sack’s style book about people with posterior cortical atrophy (PCA), primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and dementia with lewy bodies (DLB). And publish it - in this blog Aida shares her journey of selling the idea and applying for the UCL Global Engagement funds.
