 Did you know that there is a wealth of information and advice to make life easier?

 

If you’re looking for local groups and clubs, transport, help at home, or services for carers, why not visit our directory www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/directory or call HertsHelp 0300 123 4044 to find independent support, guidance and the information you need to get the most out of life.

 

Check out our accessible website www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/adults to find lots of ways to make things easier at home such as aids, adaptations and alarms, meals on wheels or home care. Leaflets are available in large print and easy read formats. We also produce videos on most topics which are BSL accessible and have a Sign Language Video Relay service.

 

Do you worry about facilities when going out? The AccessAble website https://www.accessable.co.uk/  has details of hundreds of places, such as shops, libraries and stations.  You can quickly check the Accessible Symbols or review the detailed report for each location. So, you know exactly what is available there and can plan your trip with confidence.
