Free advice and support at Merry Hill event
People in need of advice and support to help stay safe and well in their homes are invited to attend a free event at the Merry Hill Centre this week.
The event will take place in the lower mall near the customer service desk on Friday (11 April) from 9am to 3pm.
People representing the Living Well Feeling Safe Partnership, which is led by Dudley Council, will be on hand throughout the day.
The team works to support vulnerable or older people to stay safe, healthy, well and independent in their homes.
During the event, they will talk to people about how to feel healthier, beat feelings of loneliness and make improvements around the home.
They can also direct people to support for dementia patients and unpaid carers and provide information about services including falls prevention and weight management.
Councillor Andrea Goddard, cabinet member for adult social care, said:
“This community information event is very useful for people who want to find out more about some of the support services that we can offer.
“The advisors are experts in providing information and support to help people lead healthy and safe lives in their own homes.
“We want to play our part in supporting the most vulnerable in our society and I would encourage people to come along, have a chat and find out more.”
For more information people can call 0300 555 0055.
