man with carer

So, today 13th March 2013 is National No Smoking Day. Starts to make you think about health issues doesn’t it?

Whilst ageing isn’t an illness or even a “health issue” as such, there is no doubt that for many people, and their carers, growing old creates some pretty major challenges. Well, at Age Concern Morgannwg we are here to try and help people address some of those issues.

So what makes us different from other age related groups or charities. Our strap line is Independent Local Listening. Let’s pick up on the Local element. Many of our customers come to us because we ARE local. They can pop in and meet face to face with someone to give them advice. So many older people tell us they feel excluded because everything these days seems to be “on the net”. Being able to call to our offices or have someone call them at home is a highly valued service and we are proud of this.

Watch this space over the coming weeks for more details of what we’ll be doing in 2013 to reinforce the Give Local Help Local Message!
