A NEW helpline for elderly or disabled people has been launched in the New Forest - to speed up their search for local support services.
The new line, run by New Forest Voluntary Service Council, can point people in the right direction to find anything from a gardener or a driver, to help with home DIY.
The Home Support Service Line is open to people over 60 or physically disabled people over 18.
Ring 01425 482773 and ask for Rebecca Allen if you need help, or if you represent an organisation to add to the list of helpers.
