Due to recent councill funding cutbacks we are now only able to offer a signposting service and not the more comprehensive advice service we used to have.
We can deal with enquiries relevant to older people, such as benefits, housing, health and general welfare. We can provide:
- information factsheets and leaflets
- further contact addresses if specialised help is required
Contact Kelli Parker on 01709 835214 (Mon - Fri 10am - 1pm)
or email: kelli.parker@ageconcern-rotherham.org
We have an Information Desk / "Drop-In" where you can call to pick up a factsheet, get general information or find other organisations that may be a ble to help.
The Drop-In office is at: Unit 15, The Old Town Hall, Howard Street, Rotherham, S60 1QX
Opening Times: Monday to Friday 10:00am - 12:30pm
Advocacy
We can help speak up for and support an older person with complex issues or problems. This may be in relation to services provided by a council department, government agency or one of the utilities.

This service involves volunteers telephoning vulnerable over 55 yr olds each morning to check they are all right. It can be on a permanent basis, up to seven days a week, or on a temporary basis such as when a carer is away.
