'Talking Shop' sessions
At 'Talking Shop' sessions you can talk with us about adult care and support where you live.
If you would like to have a conversation with someone from your local Adult Social Care team, then come along to a Talking Shop session and meet us for an informal chat.
All Talking Shop sessions are free. You don't need to book an appointment.
How Talking Shop can help
We can offer advice and guidance on a range of adult social care needs.
For example, we can offer information and advice on:
- local services you may need
- equipment to help you stay independent in your own home
- how to find a carer
- how to find local clubs in your area
- pendant alarms, fall detectors and other devices to help you feel safe at home
If we don’t know the answer to your question, we'll help you find someone that does.
