The Big Knit is back!
So grab your needles and your brightest yarn and get knitting for Age UK Somerset, to help us be there for older people who have no one else to turn to.
URGENT SCAM ALERT!
Thanks to the gentleman who called us to to say he'd had a telephone call claiming to be from Mendip Council saying he was owed a Council Tax refund. I'm sure this isn't confined to the Mendip area. They asked for his D.O.B. and bank details. He refused, they got shirty. Please be aware & hang up.
Our Office will be closed during the Easter Bank Holiday Weekend - Friday 19th April and Monday 22nd April.
