Our preconceptions?

We need more than just comfy chairs and bingo…

A Tale of Two Services

Around  3500  centres  na0onwide  used  by  the  majority  of  women  

Easy  to  find  and  access  your  local  centre.  

Link  Age  Plus  had  just  8  na0onal  pilots.    

Most  coun0es  have  less  than  10.  There  are  no  na0onal  networks.  

 Many  centres  can  only  be  accessed  via  social  care  assessment.
