The concept is good but I guess they don't need help to play cards. Bad example.

playing cards might be an impotant part of life for elderly cause it's a common way of socializing. and since many have arthritis a little help is appreciated. I agree it doesn't seem as essential as other visuals but it rings true.

I like the concept a lot. it's really insightful and well produced. very good job.

I know they play a lot, it's just people won't say: "Look, poor old lady can't play cards. That is so terrible! Help them!" As long as more serious problems are there to be solved...
Amnesty International would start a campaign: Donate television to prisoners those cruel bastards keep them away from their favorite shows!

A great campaign, and for a change it looks like it's come from a real brief

Does anyone else think this is a terrible pun? A hand of cards, a helping hand - nudge nudge...?
