 | | | Service Delivery - Care of older people
| |  | | About Help the Aged
Help the Aged is an international charity fighting for the rights of people to live life as they choose, free from the evils of poverty, isolation and neglect. Through our work in campaigning, carrying out and applying research, and in delivering community services we strive to reach and help the most disadvantaged older people in the UK and in the poorest parts of the world. We are outraged by the continuing lack of dignity and respect afforded to older people, often in their most vulnerable times, and by the age discrimination that pervades all walks of life, and which is still legal and accepted. We are detemined to change the big picture of policy and public attitudes and meanwhile we both provide practical help today and, through research, hope for tomorrow. | | |  | | About CSIP

We are pleased to support this year's Guardian awards to help highlight and reward some of the excellent services providing care and support for people with health and social care needs. |
