Supporting the NPC Pensioners'

Parliament

Each year the National Pensioners Convention holds a Pensioners' Parliament. This event brings people together for debating, networking, seminars and most importantly, it helps to build a united pensioners' movement.

Pamphlets

We publish information on the history of the state pension, alongside pamphlets of our Jack Jones Lectures.

All our Jack Jones pamphlets are available for £1. The "Paupers Progress" by Joe Harris is avaliable for £2. Please send payment to NPEWC, Marchmont Community Centre, 62 Marchmont Street, London, WC1N 1AB.
