G is a lovely eighty three year old gentleman who we suspect is suffering financial coercion, but we cannot prove it yet as he is too afraid to tell us very much. When we recently did a home visit, we found his fridge freezer is not working properly. It has mould inside and has a terrible smell, and is also not as cold as it should be. G has his pension coming in, although we don`t know where it goes. He is a very proud man who feels ashamed he is having to ask for help at his age. Please can you help him?
