The annual Light up a Life service is a special time to remember and celebrate the lives of those who are gone but not forgotten.
This year, to keep everyone safe and follow the guidelines, we will be broadcasting the service via our website and social media pages.

It will still be a multi-faith service at the Hospice with music and readings as well as time for quiet reflection, and the most poignant part of the evening will be when we switch on the lights of the Remembrance Tree, with each twinkling light symbolising the life of a loved one.

With Halloween 🎃 fast approaching, and uncertainties remaining regarding social distancing/lockdown, East London Business Association, ELBA, would like to invite you to an online social event. Some people will dress up costumes/face paint/masks and join them remotely for a fun hosted by their volunteers on Zoom: Expect quizzes and activities galore.

When? A day before halloween: Friday 30th October, 3.30pm – 5pm

Where? Join on Zoom, in the comfort of your own home.

Petticoat Lane Bunting Collective want you to help:

This week TV Licensing have started sending letters to anyone aged over 75 asking them to either pay for their TV licence or apply for a free one. Make sure you know what to expect when you get your letter, so that if you’re contacted by scammers before then you’ll be able to spot them.

TV Licensing will only ask you to pay using the following options:

• By post using the address: TV Licensing, PO Box 578, Darlington DL98 1AN
• Online at tvl.co.uk/75pay or tvl.co.uk/75apply
• Over the phone on 0300 790 6151

If you are contacted and asked to pay for your TV licence using a different phone number, a different website or by posting your details to a different address you have been contacted by a scammer.

TV Licensing have also been clear that they will not come to your doorstep to collect the licence fee if you are over 75, so anyone who claims to do so is also a scammer.

If you’re unsure about anything, you can call TV Licensing on 0300 303 9695 to speak with someone who can help.
