Shout Outs!

Advice service is a great help

Our three amazing advice services volunteers have done a superb job over the last 12 months, helping those living in the area to access monies they were entitled to - equating to over £300,000 pounds!

We wanted to give a shout out to thank these volunteers on behalf of Age Concern Stourbridge & Halesowen, as well as those individuals who were assisted.

In the period 1 October 2024 until 30 September 2025 an amazing 166 clients (82 female and 84 male) used the service, which is free of charge and available to all for advice. The main queries rated to Attendance Allowance for those over the State Pension Age (nearly £120,000 worth of benefits) and Personal Independent Payments for working age adults (worth nearly £78,000).

If you have experience in providing advice in either a professional or voluntary basis and are interested in becoming an Age Concern Stourbridge and Halesowen advice service volunteer, then why not email us at info@acsh.org.uk
