A CHARITY for the deaf and hard-of-hearing is holding a series of free aftercare clinics.

Hi Kent is running sessions at Age Concern in Swanley High Street between 10 and 11.30am on Monday (March 1) and on the following day (March 2) between 9.30 and 11am at Turners Oak, Centre Road, New Ash Green.

A third clinic is also being held on March 4 at Crockenhill Baptist Church, Eynsford Road, Crockenhill.

People with NHS hearing aids can drop in and get their hearing aids cleaned and re-tubed and also collect fresh batteries free of charge.

The charity is also on hand to offer advice on all aspects of hearing loss.

Hi Kent’s chief executive John Clayton said: “There is no need to make an appointment, people should just turn up and they will be seen quickly.”
