For over a million of our oldest citizens the TV is their constant companion and window on the world. And now it’s under threat.

The BBC is considering removing free TV licences from the over-75s.  But this is really the Government’s doing: they pushed the scheme onto the BBC without asking any of us what we think or providing the funding to sustain it.

Together, we must demand the Government takes back responsibility for funding free TV licences for everyone over 75.

Bringing the atmosphere of Victorian Christmas traditions to the stage with a cavalcade of colourful characters, a ghostly quartet, hilarious script and fabulous songs, A CHRISTMAS CAROL THE MUSICAL is the perfect way to get you into the Christmas spirit. A dazzling and magical spectacular full of illusions and special effects, breath-taking projections and filled with true “Christmas Spirit”.

You are invited to join us at the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch for a festive singalong on Friday 7 December 2018. 

Paul Rhodes and the fabulous Dawn Chorus will be performing a range of upbeat Christmas songs including “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree” and “Winter Wonderland” as well as traditional carols during this lively event.

Meet the Mayor of Havering Cllr Dilip Patel who will say a few words during the event before helping to call the winners of the charity raffle which always include fabulous prizes such as Christmas hampers, champagne, restaurant vouchers and much more.

We are also delighted to welcome a local school choir, taught by Paul Rhodes himself, onto the stage during the show to perform their Christmas set. 

Refreshments will be available afterwards, courtesy of Pinney Talfourd

This event is in aid of the Queen’s Theatre charitable trust and Pinney Talfourd’s own charity of the year, Tapestry, who are just yards from the theatre and support members of the community with care, wellbeing, health and dementia needs.

This year so far we have held nine free Wills and LPA Advice Mornings and advised over 200 people free of charge!

Due to popular demand we are now offering one more of these events and would like to invite you to join us.

Over half the population in the UK do not have a Will and this, unfortunately, can lead to difficulties for families and loved ones upon death. Over 850,000 people in the UK have Dementia which can affect your ability to make your own decisions. A Lasting Power of Attorney nominates a person to make decisions on your behalf.

Join our final free session for 2018 and learn about the different types of Will and Lasting Power of Attorney before getting some no-obligation tailored advice from one of our solicitors over a coffee afterwards.

This last session for 2018 will be on Friday 23 November at 10am – book your space now before it fills up.
