This evening I was interviwed by local commercial radio station, GWR fm. The interview will be aired on tomorrow's news bulletins and invites people who may have had experiences to come forward and share them with the project.

We are due to film a segment with ITV News in the coming days which will hopefully further raise the project's profile.
