Calling All Pensioners - 8 June 2026 (Reaction To Energy Bills Set To Rise)

Magazine programme with Tim Hamilton, addressing issues which affect pensioners across London. This week: England-based pensioners’ charity, Independent Age, reacts to the news that energy bills are set to rise yet again and from July. The charity also asks you to enlist the support of your MP in getting them to sign a parliamentary petition calling on the government to reverse the mixed-age couples’ rule and review the impact it is having on people at risk of poverty. Plus, Age UK’s campaigner, Shae, shares her concerns that half of people globally hold ageist attitudes. Our further musical tribute is to Beverley Martyn, aged 79, who was an influential English folk rock singer, songwriter and guitarist who left a lasting mark on the 1960s and 1970s contemporary folk scene. Produced by Deptford Action Group for the Elderly.
