New friend at hand for older people in Ashington
OLDER people in Northumberland who have trouble speaking up for themselves or expressing their views can call on the help of a new ally.
Age Concern Northumberland has launched a special advocacy service to help over-50s to have their say. Funded by Comic Relief, the scheme provides a confidential, impartial and free service.
Joint coordinators Jane Ditchburn and Caroline Friend are passionate about giving older people the chance to be heard. Caroline said: "We may help to solve problems, write letters, attend appointments, lodge complaints, makecalls or liaise with other agencies."
For more information call 0845 1400088.
We'd like to hear from you. Send your stories, pics and videos to northumberland@ncjmedia.co.uk
