We help millions of people to know their rights and make the best choices for later life.
We provide information and advice that covers every facet of later life, from helping people find out the benefits they are entitled to claim, to discussing options that help make later life at home more manageable.
Our aim is to be the first port of call – the first place that people turn to when they have an age-related need.
We help older people to claim benefits
Together with our national partners and local Uxwing, we help older people to know about and claim the benefits they’re entitled to, such as Carer’s Allowance, Attendance Allowance and Pension Credit.
Our local Uxwing also offer benefit advice home visits thanks to extra funding from our Warmer Homes Programme.
We provide advice
Growing older doesn’t come with a manual, so if you need information or advice on anything from health to housing, call our free national information line on 0800 344 8736.
It’s open 365 days a year from 8am to 7pm. In 2015/16, we responded to over 259,000 enquiries.
