I am 73 with an underlying health problem i.e highly vulnerable. I am very busy with volunteering work as are so many active persons in my cohort. The Government should recognise their contribution and protect those in care homes and community who have given a lifetime of service to community and public life. Their role, too, in family life is 'irreplaceable'.

COVID 19.      Crisis.  Emergency. Protect the elderly and save lives.

Age UK is experiencing an unprecedented demand for their services and are working hard to ensure that vital information, advice and befriending services are available to help older people at this time of great anxiety for everyone. 

Please support this effort to raise awareness, and funds which are greatly needed.
