"Older" people in Haslingden may be interested in a website recently set up by Rossendale Local Strategic Partnership; rossendale.gov.uk/olderpeople. It is specifically aimed at the elderly covering topics like health, finance, benefits, housing, mobility, transport, leisure and learning, safety and local advisory services.

Don't forget there's free internet access at Haslingden library and if they patronisingly call you a "Silver Surfer" swear loudly.
