FirstStop Partners

FirstStop is a network of local and national partner organisations, led by EAC and working together to deliver good quality information and advice to older people and their families.

We aim to work with local authorities, local agencies and older people's groups that provide, or would like to provide, housing and care advice services. Our brochure A fresh approach to later life illustrates our vision for FirstStop Advice, and provides a framework for the conversation we would like to have with you.
