There's still time to take part in our survey for CONSOLIDATE! The survey closes Saturday 28th February and takes 10 - 15 minutes to complete ✍️

Age Scotland is working with Heriot-Watt University and the University of Strathclyde on the CONSOLIDATE project, which aims to understand what helps people living with dementia live more independently and where technology could support daily life.

Your experience and lived expertise are incredibly valuable. You are invited to take part in a short survey to share your thoughts. Your insights will help shape the next stage of the CONSOLIDATE research process.

There are no right or wrong answers, and the survey takes around 10–15 minutes.
