We’ve had lots of response from the Golden Guide….people say that’s where they’ve seen us – because it gets everywhere doesn’t it
Care Provider
I use the Golden Guide all the time… most places I go I give a copy out to someone over 50 – and younger too.
Support Planner
Everyone loves them, we give them out on request from clients – the requests just keep coming.
Age UK Northumberland
I find them a wonderful resource to have in your home… a little bit of ‘peace of mind’ to have on hand.
Morpeth resident
I’m only 29 but I’m housebound. I was given the Golden Guide… it’s been so useful.
Beadnell resident
Word of mouth is what brings people in….. they go out like hot cakes.
Blyth Library
I use your excellent publication for reference… To be honest I read it from cover to cover.
Ashington resident
All the staff have one on their desks… It’s extremely useful, extremely popular and extremely sought after.
Carers Northumberland
We use them on all three wards… Anything which can help when patients go out is valuable.

The Golden Guide is great to see what’s out there. I dip into it all the time.
