Citizens' Rights for Older People (CROP)

About

Citizens' Rights for Older People (Charity Reg. No.1087538) is an independent advocacy service for older people established in 1994. CROP aims to leave an older person stronger and more able to cope.

The CROP advocacy service is available either at home or in a residential setting.

CROP advocates can assist with a wide range of problems, including:

General Advocacy
Help with completing benefit claims such as:
Attendance Allowance
