Local politicians and insurance company representatives will be available to offer free advice and information.

There will be financial and insurance experts on hand to give advice and provide information.

Three Counties campaign, Who Cares?

The event is aimed at an audience who might be thinking about placing their parents or other loved ones into care in the near future.

It will also give people a chance to consider their own future care plan.

Hotline

In partnership with the charity Action on Elder Abuse BBC Three Counties is running a year long campaign called Who Cares?

It aims to change the law to better protect adults and create a network of care champions who will change the lives of older people.

A hotline has been created exclusively for people in Beds, Herts and Bucks.

You can call 0808 801 0345 anonymously and in confidence if you think an older person is being abused or neglected.

Or just call to get advice and information from our trained volunteers.

Calls are free from a BT landline, calls from mobiles and other networks may cost considerably more.
