Senior Support Finder

Source standards

How we choose sources

Senior Support Finder is a signposting service. We aim to point visitors towards official and recognised sources, then explain the next step in plain English.

Council and Local Authority Pages

For local support, we prefer official council or local authority pages because eligibility, assessment routes and contact processes vary by area.

GOV.UK and Public Services

For national benefits, Blue Badge routes and government guidance, we link to GOV.UK or other public service pages where available.

Recognised Charities

For community support, advice and local branches, we use recognised charities such as Age UK where they provide relevant local information.

Freshness and Limits

Links and schemes can change. We show last checked dates where available and provide a way to report outdated links. Visitors should always confirm current rules on the official source before applying.

Our Approach

We summarise rather than copy. We do not decide eligibility, and we do not replace professional or official advice.
