A place to breathe and grow for a new way of living

Posted on by

Are you ready to welcome the first guest of 2022 to Girls Around Town?

Make sure you Put On Your Sunday Best this weekend to do just that, when Wendy Baird joins June live in the studio in the second hour of the show to get the new year off to a great start!

If you’re a regular listener, you’ll no doubt recognise the name and remember previous on air chats when Wendy’s been talking about the amazing work done by the team at Carriages Café in support of the local community in and around Newark, particularly over the past two difficult years.

But did you know she’s recently branched out – quite literally!! – and launched a brand new business here in town?

Perhaps you’ve already heard the news – maybe you’ve even visited TREE yourself in the last couple of months…

But if you haven’t, here’s your chance to find out more from Wendy herself, who’ll be explaining why and how she and her daughter Abigail have joined forces to turn one of Newark’s town centre spots into a place to refuel, re-energise, learn and relax.

From healthy food and drinks to wellbeing workshops and holistic therapies, they offer all these and more, so why not take a leaf out of TREE‘s book this Sunday?

Sit back and relax as you tune in to 107.8FM or listen on the apps, on Alexa or online from just after 11.10am…

And learn all about this place to breathe and grow for a new way of living.

Taking a break for Christmas – but back for the New Year!

If you were listening to Girls Around Town yesterday, you’ll know that June will be taking a break on Boxing Day…

But don’t worry, she’ll be back to start 2022 with a bang on Sunday 2 January!

In the meantime, a quick shout out to all the lovely listeners and to each and every one of the equally lovely guests who’ve joined her on the show throughout 2021 – far too many to mention by name of course but every one of them made getting up early on Sunday mornings an absolute pleasure!

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone and don’t forget that Radio Newark will be broadcasting 24/7 as usual throughout the festive break on 107.8FM, on the apps and online…

The perfect background as you’re wrapping pressies for family and friends on Christmas Eve, unwrapping your own gifts the next day before tucking into the turkey and then raising a glass or two to celebrate the New Year!

Above all, don’t forget to Put On Your Sunday Best again on Sunday 2 January and every Sunday going forward.

June’s already started lining up lots of great guests to join her in the studio or on the phone, gathering plenty of quirky stories to share on the show and looking forward to playing plenty of good music to keep you entertained.

Watch this space for details of the first of those guests – stay safe over the break – and make sure you’re turned on and tuned to welcome her back on air in a couple of weeks’ time!!

Building better, brighter futures

If you were listening to Girls Around Town last month, you’ll have heard June talking about local charity Framework and its current campaign to raise £160,000 to help the people it supports.

Since 2021 Framework has helped tens of thousands of people change the direction of their lives, empowering them to overcome issues of homelessness, addiction, mental ill-health and unemployment…

And this weekend, its fundraising and communications manager Claire Eden will be in the studio to tell listeners how it does just that.

Claire will have an update on the current campaign, talking about how the Big Sleep Out went and sharing information about other events taking place right now to help reach that target, together with details of some of the things she and her colleagues are planning for 2022.

Make sure you’re listening on 107.8FM, on the apps or online from just after 11.10am on Sunday to hear what she has to say…

And, of course, to find out how you can get involved and support their aim of helping those in need across Nottinghamshire overcome the problems of their past and build better, brighter futures.
