The Chapel FM team allowed us the creative freedom to create the show we envisioned. As a writer, I felt in very good company.
I’ve been lucky in this life to have opportunities that accommodate my disability, and this programme was no different.

A HUGE thank you for making the weekend possible, for making it so accessible, the support – before and during and for the homestay.
