Hi and welcome to Gardeners Corner. If you take a look in the Edible Gardening section, there is a thread on non-ripening tomatoes that might help you.

 

I believe removing vast quantities (or all) of the leaves, just leaving the stems and fruit, is supposed to do the trick. Looks drastic mind

 

Seems that many people have had similar problems this year. Could be lack of feed as well as the more obvious lack of sunshine. I've had mixed results but far less good than last year.
