Transport to Hospital - Age UK Suffolk  receive many calls from people on the subject of transport.   Visit the Age UK Suffolk website for a summary of key information for older people in Suffolk, telephone numbers and relevant links to appropriate websites.

Police Safer Neighbourhood - The local Safer Neighbourhood Team works with us and partner agencies to identify and address local concerns.  Understand the neighbourhood priorities, meet the team and read the latest key facts on the Suffolk Constabulary website.

WAM - Tools With A Mission is a Christian charity sending tools across the world.   If you need  to dispose of old 'stuff', TWAM with its HQ in Ipswich, collects, refurbishes and distributes all those old tools and equipment that are no longer of any use but could be highly beneficial for others to earn a living with.  It's not just 'man stuff' - dressmaking, haberdashery, the list is endless! So, rather than take your unwanted items to the tip to be disposed of let TWAM recycle.  Phil Tucker is our local co-ordinator and is happy to act as the collection point in Thorndon.  Contact Phil on 01379 678400 and visit the TWAM website for more details.

 

 

 

 

We have received many calls since October last year from people who have
found that they can no longer get free transport to hospital for routine
appointments. There have been some changes in the way that transport is
arranged and in this factsheet we will be explaining these, as well as covering
other options available to transport you to hospital, and help with paying for
them.
