This is of benefit to elderly applicants.

Great charity - do not abuse the offer if you don't qualify...

It really annoys me when they use actors in adverts.

Was thinking the same.

If the "Thermometer" is the one that Age concern usually do (My mother had one once from a church meeting that Age Concern gave a talk at) it's a little piece of card with sensors on it that change colour as the room temperature rises/falls to tell you if you are in danger of hypothermia, so not much use to the general public, so that should stem the abuse of the offer:)

So where does "Elderly" start? 70? 75?

Ask AgeCocern what their target 'customers' ages are?

Yes but you do realise that most (all?) adverts use actors?

Do you think the guy on TV telling you to buy a new Ford Fiesta

a) owns a Fiest? and
b) is just a member of the public?

For the elderly who live in St. Helens, the Age UK offer includes the booklet and thermometer, but it also includes

Travel mug
Thermal gloves
Thermal socks
Calendar with info, plus pictures of old St. Helens
Sachet of Cup-A-Soup
Torch with battery

Community centres, libraries, and The Mansion House in Victoria Park are distributing them to older people. You have to fill in a form with your name, address and signature. My mum has her pack, which is different from last Year's pack, and she is very pleased with it.
