Mervyn Kohler

Mervyn Kohler is Special Adviser at Help the Aged, having been Head of Public Affairs since 1984. He works on social policy issues affecting older people, particularly those on the current affairs and political agenda.

As the political and social agenda involving older people has mushroomed, Mervyn Kohler has increasingly focussed on income and financial issues (which underpins so much of the well-being of older people), but he retains an overview of the broad policy field.

He is on the trustee board of a number of charities including SEA and on several public bodies, and currently serves on the Fuel Poverty Advisory Group.
