We offer a range of service that
address the key issues affecting older people: financial poverty,
social poverty and poverty of information.
Our care services team offer information, about benefits and
other issues affecting older people.
Our information book Wise Guide, provides
expert advice about claiming benefits and other services. Informal
but authoritative, the Wise Guide is drawn from our
in-depth experience of helping thousands of older people across the
UK.
The Golden Link is a twice-yearly
magazine, which contains contributions from the older people we
support, including stories and poems as well as information and
updates from head office.
Our quarterly newsletter, In touch,
includes the latest news, advice and information and updates from
Independent Age. To receive our newsletter subscribe

For older people who are housebound we offer a telephone book,
film, and discussion club, called Live Wires, and a
programme of social activities so
older people have the opportunity to participate in events and
build friendships. We run fit as a fiddle activities,
offering heath and wellbeing advice to older people who are
housebound and less mobile.
For those in the very greatest need, our team of caseworkers
offer detailed assessment and casework, practical support (such as
mobility aids that older people cannot get from social services)
and financial help in emergencies (to help fix a leaky roof or mend
a broken boiler).
