“I’m super-encouraged by the rich community I experienced, the warm welcome I received and the wonderful people I met.”
Following two brilliant weeks at the GL11 Community Hub, I’m now back at BBC Glos HQ and missing you all.
Thank you SO much to the many people who recommended people and places, gave up time to meet me, shared their stories and added a lot of life to our radio airwaves.
Sadly there were dozens of people and places I wasn’t able to get round in the time I had, for which I’m sorry; I could literally only scratch the surface of the area in the two weeks I had.
Finally, if you’d like to take an interest in the lives of some of the people who bring life to Cam and Dursley, you’ll find a growing collection of audio interviews here – please do check ’em out:
