Age Concern Malling's imminent closure has sparked plans to hold an information day next week.

Last month the charity, which cares for dozens of people with dementia, announced it would close at the end of May.

Now Age UK branches from surrounding areas want to help anyone who might be affected.

West Malling Memorial Institute at 9, High Street will hold an Older People's Information day on Wednesday, May 22.

It will last from 10am to 2pm and has been organised by Age Well West Kent.

A spokeswoman said: "Anticipating the closure of Age Concern Malling at the end of May we are holding an information event for older people, their family and their carers.

"Representatives from Age Well West Kent will be on hand to assist local older people explore and access other community services.

"Older people not directly affected by the closure are also welcome."

Age Well West Kent is a partnership made up of Age Concern Malling, Age UK Maidstone, Age UK Sevenoaks & Tonbridge, Age UK Tunbridge Wells and Compaid.
