We’re partnering with Independent Age to offer three free online webinars covering topics that can make a real difference to people in later life.
Independent Age is a national charity focused on improving the lives of people facing financial hardship in later life. Its Elevenses webinars are free advice sessions that people can join online or by phone. Each session includes a presentation from an expert member of the Independent Age Advice team, with opportunities to ask questions throughout.
Independent Age Webinars
The upcoming sessions cover State Pension age, scams, and loneliness and bereavement. Click the session you're interested in to find out more, and find the links to join.
Tuesday 29 September - 11am
When you reach State Pension age, you may be able to get some benefits you couldn’t before, while the amount of other benefits you receive may change.
Gary from the Independent Age Advice team will explain how reaching State Pension age can affect different benefits, what other support you may be entitled to, and what happens if you continue working.
Tuesday 27 October - 11am
Scams are a growing problem, with fraudsters using increasingly sophisticated methods, including online and telephone scams.
Scott from the Independent Age Advice team will focus on the Scamwise guide, covering different types of scams, how to avoid them and what to do if you’ve been scammed.
Tuesday 24 November - 11am
Most of us will experience loneliness at some point, but it can be more common in later life, particularly following a bereavement.
Independent Age Adviser Kirsty will explore some of the feelings you may experience when someone dies, ways to reduce loneliness and where you can find further support.
