On 1st August, about 4 million older people will be forced to start paying for their TV Licence. This decision comes at a terrible time as many older people are feeling anxious and depressed with the current crisis.

Age UK is also asking everyone to make their voices heard and urge the BBC and the Government to sit down and find a solution that allows the free licence to continue.
