The Tenancy Support Service can put older people in touch with agencies that can help with their specific needs.

If your heath needs have changed as you have got older, you may be entitled to Attendance Allowance to cover costs for transport, meals, care or help in the home. The Tenancy Support Officer will advise whether or not you are eligible and support you to complete an application.

We can provide information about social events, trips and activities specifically geared for older people. There are a number of organisations that hold social activities in Bristol and South Gloucestershire.

Do you need help managing household tasks, decorating, gardening or small maintenance tasks around the house? You may be eligible for free help from Social Services, depending on your health needs. We can also put you in touch with voluntary agencies that will help those on a low income for a small fee.

For information about services for Older People, please contact the Tenancy Support Officer on 0117 9167769.
