HERE'S A HOT TOPIC FOR PEOPLE IN PETWORTH

A mobile information service offering advice and support to older residents in West Sussex will be in Hampers Green in Petworth on Wednesday 8th September.

The Older People's Information Centre [TOPIC], which has been funded by the Healthier Chichester Partnership, will be at the Hampers Green Community Centre in North Street, between 11am-1pm to provide information and advice on a range of issues that affect older people including -

Pensions and benefits
Keeping warm
Home fire safety
Health and well-being
Local groups and activities
Days out
Support for carers, practical help and much more

Advice and support will be available from West Sussex County Council Fire and Rescue Service, the Pension Services, Chichester District Older People's Partnership, Disability and Carers Service, Chichester Community Partnership Team and Action in Rural Sussex.

TOPIC was devised by Derek Covill, a Community Fire Protection Advisor with West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service.

He said: "TOPIC was created so that the Fire and Rescue Service in partnership with other support agencies can ensure help and information is reaching those people in more rural locations who may not normally have such easy access to it because of transport or disability.

Peter Evans, County Council Cabinet Member for Public Protection, said: "I would encourage carers, nurses, health visitors or any group that regularly visit or care for older or disabled people to come along so they can hear more about the services available. Where appropriate individual appointments to visit people in their home can be made."

No appointment is necessary and free refreshments will be provided.

Further information can be obtained from Derek on 07921 291170
