Live at Home CEO says resource was essential during lockdown
Television has been a key source of information and companionship for older people on the Isle of Man, especially over the coronavirus lockdown.
That's from the charity Live at Home, which aims to tackle loneliness and isolation among the Island's older population.
It's as a consultation on TV licences for over-75s here and in the channel islands, is coming to a close tomorrow (10 September).
CEO Jackie Bridson says access to television is more important than some people may realise:
MHK given leave to introduce free period products bill
Local authorities ask LegCo to 'protect democracy'
Constabulary launches Operation Uplift, tells road users 'make sure you're bright at night'
Manx Telecom deal a 'sign of long term confidence' in Island's telecoms and data infrastructure, says government
