AGE Concern is to host an advice session about direct payments from Social Services at the Ashburner Street Centre, Bolton, on Thursday, September 23.

Direct payments can be made in lieu of services that Social Services provide, such as home care and day centres.

It gives people a greater choice and flexibility to choose what service they want.

Anyone receiving or seeking care from Bolton Social Services, can request direct payment instead.

The session will be between 10am and 12 noon.

No appointment is necessary.
