Supporting people with learning disabilities and autistic people to make their voices heard is essential if they are to access the services they need to live independent and fulfilling lives. That's one of the key findings of our research into the impact of advocacy support services with our partners The Henry Smith Charity and Speakup. Advocacy is helping people to speak up, understand their rights, and feel happier about their lives. In #AdvocacyAwarenessWeek, we'd like to highlight the incredible work being done by 15 advocacy services funded by The Henry Smith Charity. We look forward to sharing more insights from our research this year- in the meantime, you can read our interim report (including an Easyread summary), linked in the comments section. #AAW2024 #advocacy #learningdisabilities #autism NDTi - National Development Team for Inclusion Kate Mercer

Exciting News! ✨We've partnered with Challenge Works to provide user-centred design and tech support activities for the Finalist Phase of the Longitude Prize on Dementia. The Longitude Prize on Dementia is a £4.42 million prize that launched in 2022 to drive the creation of personalised, technology-based tools that are co-created with people living with the early stages of dementia. These tools aim to help individuals maintain independent and fulfilling lives for longer. The Prize is funded by Innovate UK , the UK innovation agency, and Alzheimer's Society, the UK’s leading dementia charity, and delivered by Challenge Works, a global leader in the design and delivery of Challenge Prizes. Social Finance celebrates the announcement of the five finalists for the Longitude Prize on Dementia. According to the World Health Organisation, dementia affects 55 million people globally, and there is huge potential to build well-designed technological innovations which respond to unmet needs. It was brilliant to meet the Finalists last week in London, who are all building incredible innovations to improve outcomes for those living with dementia. Learn more about the cohort in the Guardian article LinkedIn in the comments section. We're excited to be on this journey with the Finalists and Challenge Works, as well as our partners, PUBLIC and Digital Care who will be delivering accelerator activities.

The event was a fantastic opportunity to hear insights and findings from projects that were part of the 15-month Test and Learn Programme, as well as the ‘Routes to Scale’ Framework developed by Social Finance. SCIE is proud to be apart of Social Finance’s Learning Community, which provides an excellent opportunity for us and over 50 other organisations to share insights and learning from our work to drive impactful change in social care📊

Caring for someone we love who is living with dementia is exhausting – emotionally, physically and financially. Our new report, published today in partnership with The Dunhill Medical Trust and Alzheimer's Society, calls on funders, commissioners and service providers to recognise the critical role of unpaid carers and allocate resources to sustain and expand respite services. In addition, we call on them to: 📈Invest in flexible and personalised care models: Prioritise funding mechanisms that support longer-term investment in adaptable care solutions. 🪴Promote equity in care: Ensure that underserved populations receive the care they need by supporting culturally adaptable care initiatives. 🤝Leverage existing resources: Enhance and scale current services through strategic partnerships and integration of new technologies. Hear what Social Finance Director Katy Saunders says about the findings.
