We are a membership organisation established in 1986 providing a voice for the pensioners of Islington about the issues affecting them. We champion the rights and dignity of pensioners, locally, London-wide and nationally and our aim is to reduce isolation and loneliness.

Islington Pensioners Forum members demonstrate outside Islington Town Hall

Demonstrate against cuts to the Winter Fuel Allowance

Islington Pensioners Forum is supporting the demonstration organised by Hackney and Islington Unite Community on Tuesday 3 December outside Sainsburys at the Angel.

We will be leafleting and carol singing as part of a national action around energy bills and the cutting of the Winter Fuel Allowance to pensioners.

INFORMATION ABOUT ISLINGTON PENSIONERS FORUM

Through our monthly Forum meeting at Islington Town Hall and by sending out our monthly newsletter we highlight issues that affect older people such as the state pension and health services. We campaign to raise awareness and make changes to save post offices, the freedom pass and anything that affects pensioners.

We send out 800 newsletters a month to 500 individual members and 300 organisations. We now aim to extend that reach online and to all generations as these issues that we highlight affect everyone. You too will be old! If you’re lucky…
