I am committed to supporting the elderly community by raising awareness about online safety and helping them avoid falling victim to scams. With research showing that 86% of scam victims are over the age of 65, this issue poses a significant threat to their financial security and well-being.
To address this, I will use the funds raised to organize free seminars and community events specifically designed for older adults. These events will provide practical guidance on protecting personal data, recognizing scams, and staying safe online.
I am collaborating with respected organizations such as Age UK, local councils, and social services, who have highlighted this as a pressing concern. Together, we aim to empower the elderly with the knowledge and tools needed to safeguard their financial independence and enhance their confidence in navigating the digital world.
