Tax Help for Older People marked the fomer’s 25th anniversary with an event in London.

TaxAid and Tax Help for Older People marked the fomer’s 25th anniversary with an event in London.

Gary Millner, joint chief executive of both charities, said: ‘Twenty-five years ago TaxAid was founded by tax professionals who were concerned that people on low incomes were suffering significantly because they could not afford tax advice. In 2001, the Tax Help for Older People project followed, initially regionally, then nationwide. Both charities have grown steadily since, and are now helping more than 21,000 people a year between them.

‘Nevertheless, the fact is that demand for our services is continuing to outstrip our ability to deliver it.’

In 2015, the two charities, supported by professional bodies and firms, launched a joint campaign, Bridge the Gap.
