‘Mr. M. would like to express his gratitude and appreciation to your organisation for supplying him with a colour TV and licence. The delivery people were great, they set it up and tuned it in for him. It makes a big difference to him; he previously had a small old black and white one, now he has got a bigger size, great reception and a remote control. Well done!' - Letter from Age Concern, Southwark
