Ben Atkinson-Wiles, Founder, Active Minds
Ben set up Active Minds in 2009 after personal experience with his grandfather highlighted the lack of suitable activities for people who, like him, were living with dementia. With over 800,000 people in the UK living with dementia the response from the care community was huge. Active Minds works with leading health care providers and dementia specialists including Age UK, NHS and the Alzheimers Society. Ben held the title of 'Britain's Best New Business' in 2011.
