Age UK publishes a large range of printed information guides, and its order page says you can order up to four copies of any guide for free and have them sent directly to your address.

Titles cover later-life money and benefits, pensions, care and housing options, health and wellbeing, avoiding scams, and useful contacts. They are written for older people but just as useful if you are helping a parent or relative.

Choose the guides from the list, say how many you want and where to send them, and they go in the post – delivery normally takes 7 to 10 days when titles are in stock. Larger or organisation orders go to [email protected].
