These free initial advice clinics are designed to support older people (over 55 years of age), living in the Tunbridge Wells Borough, by offering access to solicitors from CooperBurnett, who can provide guidance on a range of important topics, including:
The first clinic is on Thursday 14 August and clinics will then run on the first Thursday of the month (30-minute appointments available between 9.30am – 1.00pm). Sessions are available to book here: https://www.ageuk.org.uk/tunbridgewells/activities-and-events/legal-clinics/
“We recognise that, for many older people, accessing good legal advice can seem daunting and confusing,” says Katie Gillam, Private Client Partner at CooperBurnett LLP. “We are really pleased to be supporting Age UK Tunbridge Wells with its Legal Clinics, where we hope to provide some straightforward initial guidance in these free half-hour sessions.”
Age UK Tunbridge Wells offers a variety of services including Dementia Outreach Support, Memory Cafes, a Digital Buddy Service, Cognitive Stimulation Therapy, Community Hot Meals, The Write Partnership (which matches older members of our community with pen friends), Befriending, Virtual Classes (including coffee mornings, exercise classes, art workshops and more), Information and Advice, Independent Living Support, Footcare, Day Care (and Dementia Day Care), a Computer Learning Centre; and Advocacy.
CooperBurnett is also proud to be supporting Silver Sunday 2025 on 5 October, a nationwide day of celebration for older people, which Age UK Tunbridge Wells is hosting alongside Tunbridge Wells Borough Council.
"Age UK Tunbridge Wells is delighted to welcome this partnership as an important step in making legal advice more accessible to all older residents, especially the vulnerable,” says Kim Pearman, Community Engagement Officer at Age UK Tunbridge Wells. “Being able to offer this free legal advice service at our Wood Street centre is something that our community will warmly welcome. We're incredibly grateful to CooperBurnett LLP for their generous support, not only through these monthly legal clinics but also for backing our Silver Sunday 2025 celebration. Their comprehensive support demonstrates a real commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of older people throughout Tunbridge Wells."
Silver Sunday - a free, community-focused event - is all about bringing generations together and celebrating the contribution of older people. Attendees can bring a guest of their choice to enjoy a relaxed afternoon of tea, music, and conversation at The Amelia Scott.
