Throughout the Wise Guide, we have suggested you seek advice
from Citizens
Advice. To get the best out of Citizens Advice and other advice
services, we suggest:
- book an appointment if you can
- be persistent
- take a friend if it helps
- take food, drink and a newspaper in case you're in for a long
wait
- arrive early
- ask when they are least busy, and go then
- take every piece of paperwork relevant to the problem
- find out about opening hours to save yourself a wasted
journey.
We have mentioned Age UK throughout the Wise Guide. Age UK is
the new charity combining Age Concern and Help the Aged and some
centres still call themselves Age Concern. Here are the contacts in
your area:
The contacts in the Wise Guide are mainly for England and Wales.
Assume the organisations don't cover Scotland and Northern Ireland
unless we have said so. Most will be glad to supply details of
equivalent organisations where you live.
