Aims

R.A.G.E. (National), Relatives Action Group for the Elderly is an
organisation created to act as a National mouthpiece for all the
Action Groups fighting Residential Home closures throughout
the UK.

R.A.G.E. (National)'s secondary aim is to help, co-ordinate and
encourage individual groups in their campaigns by providing
high quality, well researched information on the technicalities of
the Local Authority Social Services and the impact of the
European Human Rights Act. We can also suggest two
specialist firms of Solicitors who have expertise in this area.
Our group wants to contact every protest group in the UK so
that we may make everyone aware of the vast numbers of frail
and vulnerable elderly folk put at risk by this shameful policy.

Our "Manifesto",

1) RAGE(National) is a non- party political Group involving all
those who are

dedicated to stop Home closures and the preservation and
maintenance of

adequately funded, high level Residential Care for the Elderly in
both Public

and Private Sectors.

2) RAGE(National) seeks dialogue and support from across
the spectrum of

Political Parties, Media, Unions, Industry Groups and Local
Authorities but

remains independent and non-aligned.

3)RAGE(National) sees it's role as two fold; to act as a
mouthpiece and

lobbyist for Action Groups throughout the Country at National
Level and to

assist and co-ordinate local groups in pursuing their individual
campaigns."
