NEW advice services are available for older people, courtesy of a Dorset charity.
Age UK North, South & West Dorset (NSWD), are offering older residents the chance to speak to experts about topics such as finances and benefits.
The charity, in partnership with local solicitors, is holding a free over-the-phone service for anyone over 50 to ask an expert questions about wills, power of attorney, property and finances.
Separate surgeries will also be held where residents can ask questions about benefits they may be entitled to receive
Due to the Covid-19 situation, these surgeries will go ahead on pre-planned dates by telephone and will be by appointment only.
To book a telephone appointment, call Age UK NSWD on 01305 269444 or email enquiries@ageuknswd.org.uk
