Information and Advice: Ensuring that people in later life have the knowledge they need of their rights, entitlements and responsibilities and are aware of the services and support available to them.

Some of the activities we currently offer include
o I.T Lessons via the Worth Connecting Project The Aged Veterans Project
o Help at Home services, including the Trusted Trader Database on our website
o Day services in Keighley, Denholme & Mary Seacole Court
o Person centred support across the district, facilitated by our Wellbeing Officers

Integrated Care: Bringing together voluntary, health and care organisations to help older people who are living with long-term conditions, working to co-design and co-produce an innovative combination of medical and non-medical support.

Our aims are:
• That everyone in later life feels comfortable, safe and secure at home
• That everyone in later life can manage their daily living activities
• That everyone in later life can manage their daily finance and budgets
