AFTAID (Aid For The Aged In Distress)

Who else can elderly people in financial need turn to?

Clearly the obvious answer is family and Social Services. Family members often cannot (sadly on occasion, will not) help. Social Services have a great and growing demand on ever limited resources and have constraints upon the assistance they are allowed to give.

So it is not surprising that we receive approaches from family, friends and Social Service professionals asking us to help the poor folk they can't help - but would if they were able to.

AFTAID responds professionally

Money is NOT given directly to anyone over 65 years who applies! Applications cover all aspects of a claimants financial position, includes independent third party endorsement (doctor or health professional or Social Services etc.) and when a grant is approved, the payment is made direct to the ssupplier or the contractor. A beneficiary does not see the cash but gets the help needed as soon as possible, sometimes within a few days.
