Calling All Pensioners

Magazine programme with Tim Hamilton, addressing issues which affect pensioners across London. This week: the National Pensioners Convention (NPC) celebrates campaigns fought and won, with some being the toughest battles for older people in 2025. The organisation highlights that the Chancellor’s tax changes in the recent Budget are set to impact older people for years to come, in particular older people with health conditions and older renters remain far more likely to be stuck in cold, damp housing. The NPC expresses its gratitude for those who have aided their campaigning - their greatest strength is their hard-working regional branches. Our musical tribute is to Chris Rea, aged 74, who was an English rock and blues singer-songwriter, guitarist, keyboard player and record producer active from the early ‘70s. Produced by Deptford Action Group for the Elderly. [Repeats Sunday 2pm.]
