A CENTRE offering information and advice to older people is now up and running in Wythall.

Residents aged over 50 can attend the Age Concern and Pension Service information surgery in Hadley Close on the last Tuesday of every month to receive advice on absolutely anything - from filling in forms and benefits to housing and holidays.

Located in Dennis Potter Court, the centre is within easy reach for residents in the nearby sheltered housing but welcomes visitors from all over Wythall and further afield.

Adviser manager Sue Hanson said older residents should make the most of this facility and members of staff were more than happy to deal with any query.

Happy to help the over-50s at the Wythall centre are Sue Anson and Linda Birtwistle.
