Good To Know - Telephone Group

What is this service?

From Independent Age - Our Good to Know telephone groups invite a different guest speaker each week to discuss issues that matter to older people. Topics include scams, the cost-of-living crisis, social care, benefits and finding new social connections - things that are simply 'Good To Know' about.



Since our Good to Know Groups launched, we’ve had guest speakers from organisations including StepChange, Mind, Parkinson’s UK, and Cruse as well as specialist advisors from Independent Age’s benefits and social care teams. Think of these groups like a cup of tea and a chat at a community centre, but over the phone in the comfort of your living room. The groups are particularly great for older people unable to get out and about or to online activities – but anyone over the age of 65 is welcome.
