Plus: Worcestershire allotments and living with dementia [View this email online]( Header title text [Members of Age UK Oldham's LGBT group for older people smiling at the camera]( Age UK tells Boris: you must save free TV licences As Boris Johnson took up residence at Number 10 this month, our campaign to save free TV licences for the over-75s took its next step. And it wouldn’t have been possible without people like you. Almost 635,000 people signed our petition urging the Government to step in and keep TV free for everyone over 75. We’ve now handed these signatures to the new Prime Minister, and are eagerly awaiting his response. As soon as we hear anything, you’ll be the first to know.
