The Athlone Community Policing Forum and police station have launched an adult nappy drive, recognising the vulnerability of the elderly in society.The initiative aims to support frail senior citizens residing at Erica Place in Silvertown.
Subsequently, they decided to extend their support by providing each senior with a box of luxury items in April. It was during this event that they identified the urgent need for adult nappies, especially with winter approaching. The goal of the drive is to collect approximately 200 packs of adult nappies in various sizes, from large to extra-large. Additionally, Erica Place requires linen savers to protect bedding, wet wipes, and other hygiene products for the seniors.
Currently, pensioners aged 60 receive R2 180 a month, while those aged 75 receive R2 200 monthly from the South African Social Security Agency .
