Petersfield's local news

Local news for Tuesday 14th July

Embracing Age, the Christian befriending charity, is once again appealing for people to send cards to residents in care homes who may not have relatives or visitors or be able to participate in group activities.

Zoe Jones, who works across East Hampshire for the befriending charity, talks to Mike Waddington about the project and how simple messages on cards help.

Zoe also speaks about what befriending involves and working with hundreds of care homes in East Hampshire. 

It goes on to the end of September so would also be something returning schools might want to be involved in, about their own holiday memories.

Embracing Age match you up to a care home and say who the cards can be posted to.

Contact Zoe at Hampshire - Embracing Age or hampshire@embracingage.org.uk

Local news for Monday 13th July

As school children across our area break-up for Summer we hear how Herne Junior School pupils took to the stage at Petersfield's Community Fair.

The school choir includes pupils from years four, five and six.

They performed a set of positive uplifting pop songs Try Everything, You can Count on Me, The Climb and Proud.

The children belted-out these tuneful favourites from the biggest mobile stage ever seen in Petersfield. It was the centrepiece of the fair held at Churcher's College.

We hear from choir members Ellie, Ellen, Eloise and Lara. Hear their reactions as they step off-stage and up to the Shine Radio microphone.

The children are introduced by the choir leader, teacher Miss Clare Morphew. They are speaking to Stephen Martin.
