We just wanted to thank everyone who has taken the time to apply, as we gear ourselves up for the next tricky task. We now have the unenviable job of deciding which applications to take forward as one of our six case study sites and which to decline. Luckily though, it\u2019s not actually us making the decisions but our project Steering Group, who will be acting as an independent review panel. Phew!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We haven\u2019t had a chance yet to look through the applications in any detail, but have seen enough to know that there was good interest from all across England, which is fantastic. Even if it\u2019s just managed to make sites more aware of how to support people living with dementia and start a few conversations around what they could do (regardless of whether or not they then went on to apply), the process will have been worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So bear with us as we review, discuss and maybe even debate the case study applications with the Steering Group, and narrow them down to our final group of six. We\u2019ll let everyone know the outcome and share our list of successful applicants via our blog posts in due course. We\u2019ll also keep you posted on other project developments as our free resources are almost ready to launch!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wish us luck for an interesting October.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"4646\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/adsdementiablog.wordpress.com\/2026\/02\/12\/new-project-starting\/tnlhf_english_acknowledgement_stamp_colour_png\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/adsdementiablog.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/tnlhf_english_acknowledgement_stamp_colour_png.png\" data-orig-size=\"1668,1668\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"TNLHF_English_Acknowledgement_Stamp_Colour_PNG\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/adsdementiablog.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/tnlhf_english_acknowledgement_stamp_colour_png.png?w=1024\" src=\"https:\/\/adsdementiablog.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/tnlhf_english_acknowledgement_stamp_colour_png.png?w=1024\" alt=\"the image shows a teal blue circle with The National Lottery Heritage Fund logo of the crossed fingers wishing for good luck in white.
