Annotation	The SAVE project (Support and Advice for Vulnerable Elders) was a multi-agency demonstration project in the London Borough of Lewisham funded by the Home Office between 1992 and 1995. The project explored and developed awareness and practical and policy responses to abuse. This article looks at innovatory aspects of the project, particularly its aim of making links between domestic violence and adult protection policies and of working with older people. Although funding ended in 1995, the focus widened to include all vulnerable adults. (RH).
