Information and advice
Age UK Bradford District offers a free and confidential information and advice service for older people, their families and carers.
Our Information & Advice service holds the Advice Quality Standard (AQS). The AQS is the quality mark for organisations that provide advice to the public on social welfare issues. Organisations that hold the standard have demonstrated that they are easily accessible, effectively managed, and employ staff with the skills and knowledge to meet the needs of their clients, for more information, please visit the AQS website.
We can help you with:
- Benefits

- Leisure and social activities
- Family and personal matters
- Your rights to local services
- And most other things that affect your quality of life
We will always give you information that is accurate and up-to-date, and can explain the choices you have open to you. If you want us to, we may be able to take action on your behalf.
If we can't help, we can put you in touch with people who can.
How we work
