As we move into the summer months, we're thinking more about healthier lifestyles, fresh produce and getting fit.

On May 17th 1975, thirty-three people tragically lost their lives in a bus crash that is often considered Britain’s Worst Road Disaster. The crash occurred at Dibble Bridge when the brakes on a coach carrying mainly elderly passengers failed, sending the coach hurtling over the bridge.

The recent global pandemic has affected us all greatly over the previous months. However, Together TV recognises that many people have been left especially vulnerable during these challenging times. 

Here at Together TV we recognise the importance that music has on all our lives; it is a great source of comfort and joy for many in these unprecidented times.

Almost one in ten children worldwide are involved in child labour. This figure is shocking and there are fears, due to our current economic crisis, that this figure may be far from declining. The impact of Covid-19 on many people’s livelihoods is huge, and sadly, children are often the first to suffer in these circumstances; the UN predicts that the crisis could push millions of children into child labour, joining the already 152 million children already suffering globally.

At Together TV we recognise the vital importance of acknowledging social issues and ongoing struggles of minority communities. We Stand Together for equality and racial justice,  and are keen to amplify the voices of those that have been historically overlooked or ignored.

As the leading TV channel for social change, over several years we have celebrated Black History month on the channel by broadcasting an extensive range of documentaries on a variety of subjects from stories of immigration to the work of revolutionary young activists. 

Together TV is glad to announce that on Sunday 14th June at 8pm, we will air groundbreaking documentary Resilience; a UK premiere. It also repeats on Tuesday 16th at 9pm.
