Are you a local Carer, or do you know someone who is?

Wednesday, May 18th, 2011

Carers come in all shapes, sizes and ages! Some of them may not even recognise themselves as being carers, just doing what comes naturally to them and looking after their family members.  Maybe you know of someone who may benefit from some support?

Southern Brooks Community Partnership have been commissioned from South Gloucestershire Council to reach out to the Patchway, Bradley Stoke, Filton and the Stokes, to bring together carers to share experiences, discuss barriers and learn more about the support available, that may be they are not receiving.

A Carer’s network meeting is being held on Wednesday 1st June at Coniston Community Centre, Patchway, BS34 5LP, 2-4pm

This informal meeting is free, but booking is essential. Transport can be arranged. Please contact admin@sbcommunitypartenrship.org.uk or Jackie on 01454 868570.

Bradley Stoke Community Radio Gearing Up for Live Broadcast !

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

Bradley Stoke Community Radio are now gearing up for the live broadcast.  Friends at BCfm 93.2 have provided their expertise, training, support and encouragement to put the BSCR team in a position where they now have the skills (well almost) to broadcast live. BCfm 93.2 are a talented bunch – check out their website for a glimpse at the level of service they provide. BSCR members who received training from BCfm last month are now cascading this training to the latest Bradley Stoke Radio members.

Want to help but don’t have any spare time? There are still a few equipment needs which could be fulfilled by spending more of the grant and sponsorship money received to date. However, if you or anyone you know has recently acquired a new computer and are wondering what to do with the old one… BSCR would be particularly grateful for USB mice and keyboards, a couple of screens and an external hard drive or two.

Want to help and do have some spare time? For every presenter who is in front of the microphone at least one person is needed behind the scenes. The organisation required to put a radio station together is quite staggering and as the broadcast gets closer, this work (all being done by volunteers) is starting to pile up. Volunteers are needed in the following areas:* Marketing * Press Releases * A Treasurer * Newsletter Production Person * Another ‘Finance’ Person * Advertising Coordinator * Meeter/Greeters * Event Organisers and people to man the stand at events.

In the next few weeks the team expect to have ‘online-streaming’ capability – simply put, that means an internet radio service can be provided that runs 24/7, 365 days of the year. The person responsible for this will need a small team to make sure this next stage of the website development is successful!!

The members of the Bradley Stoke Community Radio Association would like to thank all their supporters and sponsors to date and look forward to welcoming more interested people to team …. watch this space for updates!

For more information and details on how to get in touch with the team see their website.

Bradley Stoke Matters is very pleased to be supporting Bradley Stoke Community Radio.
