Well done Beth, Char, Shannon, Rob and Emma

Our representatives from the Voices 2 Be Heard team did a fantastic job today presenting their album and talking about their experiences making it. They were forthcoming in expressing their thoughts, views and feelings about their lives too.

Beth, Char, Shannon and Rob are to be congratulated on their completion of a project leading to the making of the CD Listen to our Words. Youth worker Emma joined them on the show to speak about the project. All of them also introduced some of their favourite songs.
