September Tips & News
We have been approached by the charity CILK, the Centre for Independent Living in Kent. It provides advice to people receiving Direct Payments and promotes independent living. They have offered to come and talk about themselves and their services at the club meeting in November.
Until then you can find out more at their website http://www.cilk.org.uk/index.
Did you know that many of the phone numbers that companies give you to call them on are actually premium rate? Typically they start 0500, 0808, 0842, 0843, 0844, 0845, 0870, 0871, 0872 and 0873. To find an alternative landline number try the website Saynoto0870 http://www.saynoto0870.com/ .
Alternatively if the organisation you want to call has a ‘calling from overseas’ number that starts +44 and continues with ‘1’ or ‘2’ then just replace the +44 with a ‘0’ to call the number from within the UK.
