Established in 1961 , Help the Aged is a United Kingdom based, international Charity fighting to free disadvantaged older people from poverty, isolation and neglect. Help the Aged has national offices in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland whose role is to manage their campaigns and services within the context of their own national or regional environment. As of 2005 , the Charity employs over 1,800 people and has an income of £75 million per year. ''Research into Ageing'' is a British medical research trust with the Charity. In 2007, Help the Aged launched Intune Group , a new financial services brand. The service exists as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the charity and offers tailored financial services products, including home, car and travel insurance. The charity has launched the initiative to remove age discrimination as a barrier to older people wishing to access certain financial products. Unlike many other financial services companies, none of intune's products will have an upper age limit. Any profits generated by the company will go towards the charity's work with disadvantaged older people. Among the many issues tackled by Help the Aged are:
CAMPAIGNS The Charity is an active campaigner on a number of issues impacting older people. These currently include elder abuse, age equality, pensions and benefits and avoidable winter death. REFERENCES EXTERNAL LINKS Campaigns Appeals Fundraising events |
