Service & Activity Information
The website’s main function is to hold information on groups and organisations providing services and activities, within Buckinghamshire or close by, which are likely to be of interest to older people. It also holds information on regional and national organisations that provide information or services which may be useful to the people of Buckinghamshire.
It is recommended that you always check with providers that their service or organisation meets your requirements. If buying services, for all but the smallest jobs, get more than one quote, preferably three. For advice and information about buying services and products Bucks Trading Standards and Citizens Advice have produced a series of guides giving you hints and tips before you buy as well as practical advice and steps you can take to solve problems if they happen.
