CHARITY Space Odyssey
Our special event to launch the spectacular Charity Space Odyssey video that featured 33 local charities with guest appearances from comedian Joe Lycett and broadcaster Craig Charles has been hailed a huge success – we’re the ONLY Community Radio station to have launched from space.
Inspiring words from guest speaker Selina Graham, the High Sheriff of Shropshire
Launch Event at St Mary’s Church, Shrewsbury. 01 December 2022
What a triumph!! I hope that you were all delighted with the way the launch went. I thought it was a fantastic turnout and so much goodwill in the room it was almost palpable! Everyone there wanted it to be a success and if the combined weight of all the goodness that was in that church gets behind you then there should be no stopping you at all!
Thank you for inviting me to take part – I was proud to do so and both you and Helen both spoke beautifully. The launch was brilliantly put together and by the end you could have heard a pin drop! It was an evening of “firsts” for me – certainly the space odyssey! But the Japanese food was definitely a first too – and won’t be the last! It was delicious.
I thought it was interesting how often the word “bonkers” came up! But what was so nice is that it was clearly meant as a compliment! If what it actually stands for is imagination, wit and sense of humour with a dash of steely determination then it is a great attribute and I hope it stands you in good stead. You will doubtless need to weather the odd storm along the way but I hope that most of the future is sunshine.
I look forward to watching the stellar success!
