Factsheets

Age Scotland provides factsheets of information on a number of topics.  You can see two lists below.  The first is a list of factsheets which are available on the Age UK website (click here to access).   Please be aware, some of the content of these factsheets may not be applicable in Scotland and Age Scotland is not responsible for the content or for ensuring these factsheets are kept up to date. 

The second list - divided into categories - shows the list of factsheets that have been edited to reflect the situation in Scotland.

The factsheets are all pdf files and you will require Adobe Reader to open them.  To download Adobe Reader for free, please click here.
