Other Services

Footcare Service

Age UK East Sussex have now handed over their Footcare services to Glynis Henderson, a trained podiatrist. Glynis continues to provide the same service, making all the appointments as usual. She offers appointments on Tuesdays. Please contact her on 07717 167544 for details.

Room Hire

If you would like to hire one of our rooms, please download and complete our booking form and then email it to us. You may prefer to give us a ring or just call in one morning.
With the start of the Autumn term our lounge is booked on most days now, but as you see below, we also have a large room upstairs available to hire, along with the smaller Meeting Room.

The Old Snooker Room on the first floor is now available to hire. As the room was being used less and less for snooker, the Committee decided that it would be better to redecorate and furnish the room so that it can be used for a range of purposes. The snooker table has gone to a new home in Swansea and the redecoration is complete. We have kept some of the snooker paintings as a reminder of the room's past use. The final game of snooker was played in July and the winner was presented with a packet of Lewes House of Friendship biscuits.  

Information and Advice Service

Age UK East Sussex is usually able to provide information and advice on a wide range of subjects of importance to people in later life including welfare benefits and money, social care and health, housing options and local services. For advice, please telephone Age UK East Sussex on 01273 476704.
