About Us  |  Contact Us  

Making a regular donation to our work is one of the most valuable ways that you can help us because it ensures a steady income for our projects and our activities.  But, even if you are unable to make regular commitments, a single donation can help us too.  We are often described as an organisation that 'punches above its weight' and this is because we strongly believe in what we do, and because we spend every penny we get on just one thing - challenging elder abuse.

By making a donation to us you can become part of this process and know that, when we encourage Governments to do more, or hold regulators to account, or challenge poor practices, or support very vulnerable people, you have helped make it possible.  Every contribution, however large or small, can help our work and can help keep our voice independent and heard by those who are in a position to protect.

Consider the options below and choose the one that is right for you.

Making a monthly donation is one of the most effective ways to help us  provide an ongoing service to older people and vulnerable adults facing  abuse. Use this link to download our monthly direct debit giving form  Direct Debit form for Monthly donations.

Gift Aid

To increase the amount of your gift at no additional cost to you, click here to download a gift aid form and send it in with your donation.  Giftaid is a government initiative which enables charities to reclaim 28% of tax on donations, so long as the donor is a UK taxpayer. All we need is your home address, which is required by H&M Customs and Revenue. It’s hassle-free and will cost you nothing, but makes your donation worth even more to us!! 

        and maximise your donation...

And finally...

Making a donation in memory of a friend or relative is a unique way to make their memory last forever.  Your donation is a memorial that can make a real difference and provide great comfort at a time of loss.  It can be a positive way to remember the life of a loved one while supporting the work that we do.  And your donation, no matter how small, can make a real contribution to our work and give real help to older people who are suffering.

If you are organising a funeral, you could invite friends and relatives of your loved one to make a donation to Action on Elder Abuse instead of, or as well as, giving flowers at the funeral.

And please consider leaving us a  legacy in your Will – remembering us in this was could help to improve the lives of older people who suffer the most dreadful abuses.  A legacy does not have to be a substantial sum. Once you have provided for those you care about, any legacy you can leave to us, whether large or small, will be put to challenging the abuse of older people and improving their lives.   By leaving a legacy, you can provide very real support for a hugely worthwhile cause.
