Charities & Organisations

There are many organisations that will help the elderly if they find themselves in financial difficulty. Some offer grants for emergencies or equipment to aid daily living and some will offer a small income in order to achieve an acceptable and comfortable standard of living. There are also many organisations who have volunteers to provide support and friendship in order to combat social isolation and allow the elderly to hold on to their precious independence.
