Keep ahead of the game – all year round @agescotland
The Age Scotland Hot Tips calendar is packed with information and advice to help you stay safe, comfortable and well this winter – and all year round. Whats more it is free for older people in Scotland (Thanks to the Scottish Government).
Last year we distributed 62,000 calendars with excellent feedback and this year we have 78,000 to give out.
For our 2014 calendar have taken aboard the feedback from our 2013 edition so this years calendar is less shiny, hence easier to write on and the pictures are labelled so that people know where they are taken.
Drawing on expertise from partners including Police Scotland and Care & Repair Scotland, Hot Tips can help you save money on fuel bills, keep cold callers at bay, prepare for winter emergencies, and much more.
Email us at hottips@agescotland.org.uk to order a copy or pick one up from an Age Scotland Charity Shop, your library, GP surgery’s and selected constituency offices or your local MP.
