From Memory to Connection: Memory Boxes in Dementia Care

Description
To mark Dementia Action Week (18–24 May 2026), Boots is funding new research with the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ to explore how Memory Boxes could support everyday dementia care, and the potential for the initiative to be scaled as a social prescribing tool. The research builds on Boots' Memory Box initiative launched for Dementia Action Week 2025, when the retailer distributed over 1,000 boxes to care homes and carers across the UK. This project is co-lead by Professor Tracey Thornley, Professor of Health Policy, and Professor Svenja Adolphs, Professor of English Language and Linguistics.

Nottingham's Literary Map

Description
A decade after being named a UNESCO City of Literature, Nottingham is set to further celebrate its rich writing heritage with the launch of a new literary map highlighting the people, places and tales that earned the city its creative status. The project, led by Dr Matthew Welton, Associate Professor in Creative Writing in the School of English at the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´, in collaboration with Nottingham City of Literature, commemorates the organisation's 10-year anniversary of the city's prestigious status. Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and designed as both a physical guide and a digital resource, the literary map showcases the diverse storytelling culture that has shaped Nottingham across centuries.
