Channel: The Rooftop News
Date: 2020-07-17

Welcome to Rooftop TV! The channel dedicated to sharing good news worth shouting about. Brought to you by the team at https://therooftop.news, we shine a spotlight on the issues that matter and the campaigns that are making a real difference to people’s lives. 

In this episode, Ian Morton provides a rundown of the week's top positive news, including a story about two Syrian tailors who have been training refugees in Yorkshire to make personal protective equipment (PPE) for a local care home.

We also hear about a new campaign launched to end fuel poverty in the UK before the winter arrives, and a heart-warming story about a 16-year-old student who has been getting thousands of primary school children to write letters to lonely care home residents during Covid-19. 

If you’ve got a story that you want to shout from the rooftop about, email editor [at] therooftop [dot] news - and remember to include a high quality image to accompany your story.
