Last week our Help Team Advisors Sarah and Beth visited the wonderful Chatty Cafe and Rosebank Health, where they gave a short talk about all the information, advice and guidance we offer for local older people.

Beth and Sarah were able to answer questions, advise people on everything from claiming benefits they may be entitled to specialist dementia advice and more. Many people took the opportunity to subscribe to our Age Better eBulletin and to join our Voice of Older People panel.

To keep up to date with all our news, services and latest information, you can subscribe to our eBulletin here:👉

We love to bring our services out into the community and would like to say thank you to Rosebank Health Social Prescribing for inviting us along.🙂
