AGE Concern is moving Padiham information sessions from Knight Hill House to Padiham Methodist Church.

The move is a joint venture between Age Concern and the church and volunteers are needed to help run the sessions on the third Friday of every month.

Age Concern Lancashire's Burnley Project information officer Alan Richardson said: "It is important that pensioners check their entitlement to benefits like income support, council tax and attendance allowance.

"This year pensioners' income support premiums have been increased substantially by the Government and some pensioners who just dropped out of the limit last year might come inside it this year."
