Local older people are being given the chance to use a new and free money advice service, provided by Age UK B&NES.
A new Money Advice Officer, Jon Keast, will be available at Bath’s One Stop Shop on Manvers Street and from the charity’s Kingsmead Square offices on first and third Tuesdays of each month.
The new service is being made available as part of a partnership arrangement with Age UK Bristol, where Jon works the rest of the time.
Jon explained: “Many people struggle with their finances but don’t know where to get good, unbiased advice. I hope that this free and confidential service will be able to help.
“For some older people, it may be about trying to increase their income – for instance lots of older people are entitled to benefits or tax credits that they don’t claim. Others may be looking for ways to save money or to manage debt.”
If you would like to see Jon you can either call Age UK B&NES to book an appointment on 01225 466135, or you can call in to Kingsmead Square or the One Stop Shop on the following dates:
