Dementia Choices is a two year project which began in April 2009 and is funded through the Department of Health's Innovation, Excellence and Service Development Third Sector Investment programme.

The overall aim of Dementia Choices is to explore, support and promote different forms of self-directed support, including direct payments, individual budgets and personal budgets for people living with dementia and their carers.

They are currently inviting groups, organisations and partnerships to express their interest in becoming a pilot site with the project. Closing date for expressions of interest is Monday 7 September 2009.
