Concerned about a relative or neighbour?
If you are really concerned about someone's welfare, discuss your concerns with them. If they refuse help, bear in mind that people have the right to decline. If possible, please get consent from the person you are concerned about before contacting us.
We'll need to consider what risk the individual is, as well as whether they have the capacity to decide on their support needs. We would then offer an assessment to decide what the best course of action would be, acknowledging the person’s needs and wishes.
If you are worried about an elderly neighbour or relation who is struggling to pay bills, you can:
- visit the Age UK website
- contact the Every Pound Counts service
- view our list of agencies who offer benefits advice
