Your Memories Matter

INTune Radio has launched a groundbreaking new radio show: ‘Your Memories Matter’. This pioneering initiative is the first radio programme of its kind in Shropshire that has been specifically created to support people and families affected by memory loss, injury, or dementia.

‘Your Memories Matter’ is built on the latest scientific techniques to ensure a gentle, comforting, and warm listening environment. The nostalgic show features no loud idents or advertising to interrupt the flow of the show, which focuses purely on curated content designed to safely evoke positive memories and nostalgia.

At its core, this project is deeply rooted in local community care and is supported by local sponsors Radfield Home Care and local charity We Are Listening. Shropshire residents, Radfield Home Care clients and We Are Listening service users are being actively invited to get involved by sharing their own stories from the past and selecting music, collaborating on local events, and even visiting INTune Radio’s studio in Shrewsbury’s Darwin Centre to see the show being recorded or take part themselves.

“At Radfield Home Care, we are always looking for pioneering ways to enrich the lives of those living with memory loss and dementia. When we saw the scientific care INTune Radio put into creating ‘Your Memories Matter’, we knew we had to step up as a sponsor.
It is a real privilege to help create Shropshire’s very first dedicated nostalgia show which will create a comforting audio sanctuary and a platform for people to share their invaluable life stories.” said Karen Corcoran, Radfield Home Care, headline sponsor.

The show, to be aired this Autumn, will also act as a vital signpost for support throughout the region. Local charities, community groups, and care organisations are being invited to feature their details on the Your Memories Matter website page and within the radio broadcast and associated social media.
“This show is entirely powered by community connection, and we want it to belong to the people of Shropshire. Through this great collaboration with Radfield Home Care and We Are Listening, we are creating an open door. We want to invite listeners, people with memory loss or dementia, and their loved ones to get involved, share their rich histories, and join us to make a profound, lasting impact together.” said Adrian Plant, Show Host.

Radfield Home Care Shrewsbury & Oswestry is the shows headline sponsor and Your Memories Matter is also sponsored by We Are Listening, a Shrewsbury-based charity that provides a befriending service to older people who live alone and who have little contact with others. The charity provides a telephone and / or correspondence-based befriending service across the UK.

The first episode is airing on Sunday 06th September at 10am, it will be repeated the same day at 6pm.
