As part of our Spending with dementia project, we’re hosting a roundtable to understand the key challenges that people with dementia face as consumers.

While people with dementia report shopping as one of their favourite activities, the design of the high street sometimes makes it difficult. From remembering a PIN number to accidentally shoplifting and from being exposed to scams to navigating around a town centre, research evidence suggests that our high street isn’t dementia friendly enough.

Through this project, supported by abrdn Financial Fairness Trust, we’re seeking to work with people with dementia, banks, insurance and utility companies, retailers, hospitality companies, high street managers, designers and policy experts to enable and support consumers with dementia.

This roundtable will seek to identify the main challenges faced by customers with dementia as well as potential policy, practice and product solutions to help support and protect this cohort when spending.
