Telegraph Hill Councillors congratulate Lewisham Pensioners Forum for organising a Pensioners Day held on September 21st in the Broadway Theatre, Catford.
Cllr Joan Millbank who attended the well attended event says ' The speech by Rodney Bickerstaff, former General Secretary of UNISON and National Pensioners Convention highlighted why it is important that campaigning groups like Lewisham Pensioners Forum exist. Many older citizens in Lewisham already experience hardship; the government's cuts in public expenditure and welfare services will exacerbate the situation. The Forum has an important role in making sure that the voices of our older citizens are heard and influence decision makers.'
