A Hampshire charity has announced a new location finder on its website, to ensure elderly people have access to the support they need.

With 25 per cent of the county's population already aged 65 and over, and projections indicating a further increase in the years ahead, the necessity for comprehensive and easily accessible support services has never been more pressing.  

Age Concern Hampshire has launched a new location finder feature on its website. It offers older individuals and their families an easy and efficient way to discover the comprehensive range of services available in their local areas.
