OLDER people from ethnic minorities can benefit from a new advice service.
Age Concern Lewi-sham launches its new initiative today, aimed exclusively at the borough's black and ethnic minority community.
Three drop-in advice centres have already been established at the Turkish Elders Club, St Laurence Church Hall, Catford, the Calabash Day Centre, Catford, and at Cinnamon Court, Deptford.
Age Concern hopes the new service will complement these and provide "timely, effective and appropriate advice" for the elderly.
Advice co-ordinator Jeanne Wilson added: "We hope this service will reach even more isolated elders.
"Age Concern is aiming to offer them access to our high-quality advice service."
The new service is being funded by £48,000 from the Department for Work and Pensions.
