- Welfare benefits advice for those over retirement age
- Identifying and accessing care and support
- Housing issues and housing options
- Power of Attorney, wills and dealing with an estate
- Leisure activities, local services
- General money advice
The charity’s Fitness & Friendship Clubs provide a great opportunity for older adults to socialise and stay active whilst building social networks and having fun.
