Save Free TV for Older People – Sign the Petition
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.

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.
