Raise awareness locally

Help the Aged has published a range of information about elder abuse. We are distributing materials through a range of outlets - from GP surgeries to older people's forums.

Does your local library have a space for distributing information about issues affecting the public? Perhaps you could place a stack of leaflets there? Or in your community centre?

Both publications are free can be ordered by emailing publications@helptheaged.org.uk.

There are many other things you could do to help raise local awareness of our campaign. For example, does your church, school or community produce a newsletter? Perhaps you could write a short article to be included in the next newsletter?
