AnnotationHelp the Aged believes that all too often, decisions are made about what should be spent (or not) on services for older people, without them actually being involved in the process. Speakers at this Senior Citizens, Cash and the Community Workshop described how older people could influence how local authorities spend money and have access to the grants available, while delegates were also able to share their experiences. The Workshop was chaired by Andrew Dunning of the Beth Johnson Foundation (BJF). (RH).
