Obituary

 


NEW LATERLIFE TOPIC NEWSLETTER

With such a volume of information on www.laterlife.com , now around 2500 pages, it's virtually impossible to be aware of all the information available that might be helpful to you.

So later this month we are going to introduce an additional monthly newsletter. Each month this newsletter will cover one area of the site which we have recently reviewed and updated. For example the first one will cover Finance and Insurance as we are just into the new financial year. The newsletter will describe and guide you around the different pages, so that you can dip into any areas that interest you right now, or simply be aware of what is available for the future.

These newsletters will mirror our programme of site updating so that you can view the latest information available on the topic.

We hope you will find this new initiative useful and that it will also provide a specific agenda for providing your feedback on additional things you would like to see us cover within each topic area.

Watch out for these new Laterlife Topic newsletters.
