Age UK Nottingham & Nottinghamshire has<br />
launched a new scams prevention and support<br />
programme for older people in Nottinghamshire.<br />
The programme, funded by Lloyds Banking Group,<br />
will help to prevent older people from falling for<br />
scams by increasing their knowledge and confidence<br />
to recognise and deal with attempted scams. It will<br />
also provide support to older fraud victims recovering<br />
after an incident.<br />
Older people can be particularly vulnerable to fraud<br />
and scams, which can have a serious emotional and<br />
financial impact, and can damage quality of life and<br />
wellbeing for many.<br />
Sophisticated scams have been on the rise during the<br />
pandemic with criminals devising even more ways to<br />
target those they believe to be vulnerable. This means<br />
it’s even more vital to support those that may be at<br />
greater risk.<br />

Programme, please contact the Safe & Sound<br />
