My Department is responsible for the Scheme of Community Support for Older People. The Scheme supports qualifying older people, aged 65 and older, by providing funding towards personal alarms and other items of security and safety equipment including smoke alarms. Applications should be made through the individual applicant's local community or voluntary organisation.

My Department has contacted the relevant local community group operating the Scheme in the area and this group will be in touch with the person referred to with a view to submitting an application on their behalf.
