Dear Sirs:
SpikeIslandRadioPeterborough ( tra la la la la) - a dynamic new boy on the starting blocks and – has here a proposed to establish a web streaming based radio station with a vision of growth:
I hope this letter finds you and finds you are all well, It is to accompany some interim documents proposing a new project )some already emailed) which I hope you will not find it too tedious to look at , support, or at a pinch be sympathetic too, even fund - for it is some financial help that I really need to bring my vision to save the Peterborough World to fruition.:
The details of the proposal are in the accompanying papers, the submittal
However, could I please highlight these facts:
1. Competition, an extant service provider:
I am aware of Peterboroughfm (whom you have helped and their activities and am in touch with them and hope to network and share ideas with the guys there:
2. They are v good at what they do, BUT WHAT I PROPoSE IS A DIFFERENT SLANT
3. I want a truly proactive and campaigning approach on behalf of groups particular the older PLUS fifty potential listener. I am NOT saying these are currently excludes, but there is a dirth of appropriate content and certainly subjects such as basic rights for the oldies, civil rights, gripes and complaints, help and advice for the all littler iss provided at local level by radio.One of the most beautiful things to see is a person happy in what he or she is doing, so much so that their joy seems to radiate to any and everyone around them. When such a person walks into a room, the environment changes and the effect of their presence is felt by all.:
I cannot help remembering a young man by the name of Bishoy, having moved here from Egypt, and now finding himself in a situation of being unable to go back. Away from his family, and the community that he had grown up in, he lives in a very small room that he shares with another young man, working an exhausting number of hours a day just to make ends meet. Despite all this, the joy and peace that he emanates leads those around him to be able to do little less than smile, many of them completely unaware of the struggles that he faces on a daily basis.

In chapter 5 of the Gospel of St Matthew, the following instruction is given by our Lord Jesus Christ:
‘Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.’
:
Each and every one of us has been directed to shine, and has been given the means to do so. We may think that this principle does not fit naturally into our daily interactions with people, but if we are faithful in what we do and fulfil our God-given potential in all aspects of our lives, others will share in that same joy and glory.:
Lord may we be ever reminded and encouraged to let Your light shine within and through us, that Your love may spread to all who we interact with every day of our lives.:
Amen:

4. This is one of my prime objectives
5. Furthermore I am interested in involving the young in these issues because they will collect their zimmer frames one day
6. I want old synonymous with alive and kicking, able well and cognisant of all the people, young and old, immigrant or local in our community
7. THEREFORE there will be a lot more local comment and content and journalism about SpikeIslandRadioPeterborough when it rears its pretty head my friends
8. And we MUST,, those of us with some life experience provide some vision, some hope and some training and guidance to you people looking for life’s first steps up on the ladder
My approach requires a number of youngsters interested in social justice and able to write about it. They need to interface, seek out the various ethnic/immigrant and indigenous middle aged/elderly in particular and record their views and we need toaddress their issues – with the help of the fogies of course (me)
Believe me, my experience shows that IF you do not look after yourself, claim your rights, know your rights, be involved and participate in the community and protect yourself - be involved, fight your corner – peacefully but vigorously no one else will
We need to run/stream plenty of society centric older biased programmes and local news
Oldies are getting wiser and cannier you know, I met a 65 year silver haired lady with an full metal jacket ipad or similar, just today on the bus, (that’s the way to get to know what’s what, the bus), she is learning how to use it and I said I will give her a hand.:
Continuous streams of ziimer frames are seen entering the library for free computer classes too – I can vouch for that, I have witnessed it myself
:
So there we have it and Bob may be your Uncle and, if he’s a nice chap and sympathetic to our cause he can be mine too:

Kind regards and thanks for reading this kerwaffle:
