Help the Aged

Help the Aged believes older people have the right to live free from fear and harm and is committed to ending elder abuse.

Elder abuse occurs when an older man or woman is harmed, mistreated or neglected.
We need your support to increase awareness of elder abuse and to ensure that the Government acts now to stop it.
