Book engaging and practical Scam Awareness Talks for local groups, businesses, and community organisations across Braintree District & surrounding areas.

Scams are sadly on the rise, and older adults are often among the most vulnerable targets. At Home Instead Braintree, we believe knowledge is the best defence.
Our sessions are designed to be clear, friendly, and easy to follow. Topics include:
Common scams affecting older adults today — from phone and email fraud to doorstep scams
How to spot the warning signs before it’s too late
Practical steps to keep personal information and money safe
How to support older relatives, neighbours, or clients in staying vigilant
Where to go for trusted advice and reporting
Community groups and clubs – U3A, Rotary, Women’s Institute, church groups
Local businesses – banks, cafés, shops, or staff who interact with the public
Families and carers – anyone supporting an older loved one at home
Health and social care teams – raising awareness within professional settings

Grainne, our Operations Manager at Home Instead Braintree, has years of experience supporting older adults and their families. Her warm, approachable style makes scam awareness accessible and reassuring — turning a worrying subject into practical, empowering knowledge.
Protecting yourself and your community starts with awareness.
Together, we can make Braintree and the surrounding areas safer, more scam-aware, and better connected.
