Calling All Pensioners

Magazine programme with Tim Hamilton, addressing issues which affect pensioners across London. This week: Age UK shares their campaign calling for reforming social care – for too long it has been underfunded, understaffed and undervalued, with older people and their families often left to struggle without the care they need. Independent Age’s campaigner, Emma, calls for you to build on your recent feedback, in getting you to tell them about the impact of receiving key social security entitlements. Plus, we hear how local Age UK branches, like Age UK Waltham Forest offer programmes of exercise classes to help participants to feel better and move more for a better later life. Our musical tribute is to Bill Oddie who was an English comedian, writer, television presenter and conservationist, and best known as a member of the 1970s’ zany comedy show, The Goodies. Produced by Deptford Action Group for the Elderly. [Repeats Sunday 2pm.]
