    Welcome to the AgeWise+ (2007) Directory which has been produced jointly by Cardiff Council (Housing & Neighbourhood Renewal Services) and Age Concern Cardiff & the Vale of Glamorgan.

    The Directory is aimed at advisors in both the public and private sectors who, as part of their day to day role, provide information or advice to older people in Cardiff.
