Our September newsletter is out now, in large print, and free to read, download and share.

It opens with an update on the Beacon data incident. The Information Commissioner’s Office has reviewed it and closed its case. Beacon never held anyone’s bank or card details. We are keeping a close eye on developments and will tell you straight away if anything changes that affects you.

There’s news from our Southend day out, and Scam Watch looks at the most common reason phones get hacked: dodgy apps. It covers the warning signs, what to do and how to stay safe. We also explain why it’s worth checking your State Pension age, which is rising to 67 over the next two years.

Plenty is happening this autumn: Let’s Discuss Death at Bethnal Green Library, the Link In men’s meet-up, Moving Recovery creative movement sessions, and an afternoon with Toyah Willcox as part of Age UK London’s Rock Against Ageism series. GamCare is also looking for Community Champions. There’s a word search to finish with.

Please pass it on to anyone who might enjoy it. If you’d like a paper copy or a different format, call us on 0203 007 9120 or email [email protected].
