AGE Concern Swindon will hold its next general meeting at 2pm on Friday, April 29 at the Pilgrim Centre, Regent Circus, Swindon.

Graham Pearson, the head of adult social services, and Shareen Campbell, from Swindon Primary Care Trust, will be describing the major changes to social care services for older people in Swindon and answering questions.

"This is one of our regular open meetings," said Jo Osorio, the director of Age Concern Swindon.

"It's an excellent opportunity for people to hear directly how improvements and changes are being made to benefit older people locally and to find out why, or even why not.

"As the council invests heavily in social care it really is a chance to hear where and how.

"Many people don't know who can get help from the social services department, how the council works with the health service and what's available.

"We hope that by the end of the meeting things will be considerably clearer."
