New resource helps keep older people 'safe and sound'

If you're wanting information on dealing with pesky telemarketers, unwanted graffiti or even a pot on fire - Safe and Sound has the answers!

Age Concern is the first port of call for older people and their family /whanau in need of information, advice, referral and support. The Safe and Sound Kia Haumaru kia Toiora booklet includes 23 pages jam-packed with useful tips, tricks and insider information from agencies including the New Zealand Police and Fire Service.

Age Concern National President Liz Baxendine describes Safe and Sound as a one-stop shop for advice on safety at home and in the community.

"It is designed either as a stand-alone resource, or to accompany Age Concern talks and seminars and contains a wealth of easily accessible information."

Copies of the booklet will be available at Age Concerns nationwide.
