Coronavirus Services Table

Services sent out the services survey for local Age UKs to complete so that the national call centre in Ashburton would have the most up to date information on all available services.

As such there is a straightforward way for Local Age UKs to display this information on your websites using the ‘Services block’ available on the Content Management System. An example is Age UK Lincoln & South Lincolnshire.

The information in this ‘block’ is bespoke to your Age UK and is wholly based on the data submitted in the services survey. It must be updated by the allocated staff member who originally filled it out in your organisation, this it to ensure data isn’t overwritten centrally.

Email partner.content@ageuk.org.uk to request your unique code.  When you have your code

You will need to go to the global block folder on the right, GLOBAL > Campaign > Coronavirus

Copy and paste the ‘Coronavirus Services Table’ text block into your own site folder structure,

Go to the code view  of the  Block <> and underneath the text, paste in the code that has been sent to you.

Save and publish

Drag the block to the page you want it to appear on.  We would recommend your homepage as it usually get the most traffic. You can embed on other pages too.

Then publish the page you have put it on.
