Action on Elder Abuse Cymru has been in operation since June 2015 and is part of the UK wide charity which has been providing support to older people and campaigning to stop elder abuse for over 20 years. Our vision is a society which values older people and one in which they and other adults can live free from abuse perpetrated by those in whom they have an expectation of trust. Where such abuse occurs we seek an environment in which it can be quickly identified and addressed.
AEA Cymru is looking for people passionate about protecting vulnerable adults to become members of our steering group. The group's purpose is to provide strategic direction and to support AEA Cymru in delivering our services by providing advice and offering expertise. Last year they ran a successful national conference on financial abuse and later this year they will be launching their bilingual helpline to compliment the existing provision. This is an exciting time to be involved with AEA Cymru to help establish our presence in Wales. Meetings will take place three to four times a year but there may also be some input via email or Skype. They are looking for people who are committed to improving the lives of older people and either have experience or an interest in adult safeguarding or elder abuse.
For more information about the work they do and to discuss becoming a member of their steering group please contact Rachael Nicholson-Wright, Director, Action on Elder Abuse Cymru via rachaelnicholson-wright@elderabuse.org.uk 07496663817
