Support ‘Hands Off’campaign

People from Lisburn are being encouraged to support a new UK‑wide campaign which was launched recently defending the need for pensioner benefits such as the winter fuel payment and bus pass.

The ‘Hands Off’ campaign, which is being led by Age Sector Platform in Northern Ireland, aims to safeguard benefits such as the winter fuel payment, bus pass, free prescriptions and TV licences after the 2015 general election.
