We know that growing older doesn't come with a manual. That's why we provide free and confidential information and advice for older people, their families and carers.
You can access our Information & Advice service or book an appointment by calling us on 0191 280 8484 or emailing enquiries@ageuknorthtyneside.org.uk.
What happens next?

• Telephone advice
Telephone advice is available Monday to Friday, 8.45 am – 4.00 pm.
We can also offer a home visiting service where appropriate.
