Get help so you can manage independently at home, get out & about, build confidence and learn new skills including using PCs and smartphones. We can provide guidance about scams, help you to improve your home security and link you to services to help with fire prevention including smoke alarms.

Getting out and about

We can help you with mobility aids, personal alarms e.g. telecare and help you with transport options from dial-a-ride to getting a taxicard or a blue badge. We can also share information about social groups.

Keeping safe at home
