Raise the Roof Radiothon

Housing for the Aged Action Group has been bringing news and interviews about older people's housing to 3cr listeners for over 20 years. Whether it's changes to the law that affect older renters, campaigns for more public housing for our elders, or the specific issues that face older migrants and queer people, HAAG brings you information you won't find anywhere else.

Right now we're raising money to keep Raise the Roof on air as part of 3cr's annual Radiothon.  Any money you can spare will help us keep bringing you a unique combination of real-life experience, policy analysis, angry rants and bad jokes that you won't find anywhere else.

Radiothon 2018 is running between the 6th and 19th of June.
