The Information and Advice service is open to all adults over the age of 50 living in the London Borough of Croydon, including those with care and support needs, regardless of their health condition or disability, and their families, carers and professionals working with them.
Our holistic information and advice service includes an initial needs assessment over the phone, via email, or in person at our Brigstock Road office.
We can help you to resolve enquiries involving:

- A referral to one or more Age UK Croydon services, including our specialist Advice service for one-off advice and casework
- A referral to another service
