On 15 November Cyclone Sidr ripped through the south-western coast of Bangladesh killing thousands. Over one million people were left homeless. We urgently need donations to provide food, medicine and construction materials to vulnerable people affected by the devastation.
When disaster strikes, older people are often the most vulnerable. Many are left to cope alone when families flee.
A member
of the Disasters Emergency Committee, Help the Aged (with our partner HelpAge International) is often the only organisation focusing on the needs of older people.

Imagine you're looking for a great
present for someone you know. Instead of buying the
usual kind of stuff - which they probably have plenty of
already - why not choose something really different like
a beehive or tea shop from the Cows 'n' Things
site, and make a difference to lives overseas.
Get friends, family and colleagues together for a good
old-fashioned sing-song this festive season and raise
money for disadvantaged older people.
Whether you
are caroling in your community, singing in your local
pub, or making Help the Aged the beneficiary of your
school or group's carol concert, you can really make a
difference this Christmas.
