Age Cymru are your local independent charity providing information, advice and support for older people in Powys for many years (formerly Age Concern Powys). Each year they help around 2,000 older Powys residents with over 3,000 issues. One of them could be you, a friend or a relative. They want everyone to be able to love later life.

The  experienced, friendly advisers offer information and advice on a wide range of topics including:

• Social care – such as finding a care home or getting some help at home, and how it’s funded.
• Your income – including free, confidential benefits checks and help with applying for benefits.
• Your home – information on staying warm at home, home adaptations and how to prevent falls.
• Legal issues – such as wills, Power of Attorney, and how to deal with an estate.

They  work with lots of agencies and charities and will ensure that you are receiving all the support you need.
