I have a fantastic collection of audio cassettes here - all complete and some unopened. I know it is "old tech" but there may be some folk (older relatives and friends) who still use cassette players and would like them. Free, of course, just let me know if you would like any / all.

On my travels, I have seen that many folk are not applying for Attendance Allowance. Getting Attendance Allowance does not reduce other benefits, it may even increase them. If you have a carer then claiming Attendance Allowance may help them to qualify for certain benefits (such as Carer's Allowance). Attendance Allowance may also entitle you and/ or your carer to further help with council tax. CarersUk has a great info sheet on this.
