Calling All Pensioners

[Repeated from Monday 1pm.] Magazine programme with Tim Hamilton, addressing issues which affect pensioners across London. This week: in our holiday repeat, the National Pensioners Convention (NPC) announces it has joined forces with the Unite union to oppose pension age rises, pointing out the state pension age is already too high. Also the NPC asks, how do we solve digital exclusion in a cost-of-living crisis? Jan Shortt, the NPC’s general secretary, asks you to contact your local MP explaining why we need an Independent Commissioner for Older People. Plus, Caroline Abrahams, Charity Director of Age UK, shares she has joined more than 70 other organisations to call for a Commissioner. First broadcast 10 April 2023. Produced by Deptford Action Group for the Elderly.
