Elder abuse is a growing but often hidden issue.

It can be physical, emotional, financial, or caused by neglect, and it affects people in every community – including here in Solihull.

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is about shining a light on this issue and showing that abuse of older people is never acceptable.

Please support our campaign by raising funds and awareness so we can continue to be here for older people who are vulnerable to abuse.

Either make a donation yourself or organise a purple-themed fundraiser to show your support of the campaign.

Why not do one kind thing along with your donation and share with others to encourage them to do the same?

For full details, purple fundraising ideas, and a free fundraising pack, visit www.ageuk.org.uk/solihull/weaad

Thank you for joining us in standing up to elder abuse in Solihull!

Caring for someone is a hugely important and rewarding role, but we understand it can also be demanding

Our adult social care services offer a range of support for carers including respite to give you a break from your caring duties, as well as direct payments to allow you to choose how your money is spent to support you in your caring role 💰

To find out if you’re eligible for support, you can complete a carer’s assessment using our online portal 💻

That’s exactly what Tracey Middleton did, a Solihull carer who described the portal as ‘easy to use’.

She said: “I chose to complete the carer’s assessment myself using the adults portal as I’m naturally more inclined to text or write than have a verbal conversation in these sorts of situations.” 💬
