Information and advice
Age UK Hythe and Lyminge offers a free and confidential information and advice service for older people, their families and carers.
How to access the service
Our trained Information and Advice staff are here to support you and home visits can be arranged. A "Benefits Check" may reveal you are entitled to more than you thought or we can help when dealing with energy companies, insurance, local authorities and much more. Staff can help to complete any forms, including online.
Our information is impartial, easy to digest and offered freely; it is given in good faith but is not intended to replace professional or legal advice. If we can't help you ourselves, we will find someone who can!
