To help celebrate this remarkable milestone, we’ve put together an amazingly good value subscription offer.

You can try “The People’s Friend” for 12 issues, for only £12 – which includes free delivery! And if you’d like to subscribe for one year or more (by Direct Debit or prepay), you’ll also receive a free, 150th Anniversary Tea Caddy.

What Are The Benefits Of Subscribing?
