ACT’s Amazing People

Gavin Richards and Danni Smith tell the stories behind the people involved with Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust, the hospital charity that raises funds for Addenbrooke’s and the Rosie, as well as the new Cancer and Children’s Hospitals. They speak to the medical professionals, the caregivers and the fundraisers who are trying to create the best possible patient experience in Cambridge.

On Radio: Sunday 25th January 12:00 - 13:00

Gavin Richards and Danni Smith speak to Dr Louise Allen, a paediatric ophthalmologist at Addenbrooke’s with an impressive record of serial innovation. She’s currently testing a device she developed for screening eyesight in newborns – which could change the approach to screening congenital cataracts, the leading cause of avoidable blindness worldwide.

Securing the future of Community Radio

Cambridge Radio is the Community broadcaster for Cambridge and South Cambs.

Our brief is to give a voice to those sometimes excluded from traditional media. And the presenters you hear on air are all volunteers themselves who give up their time for free. We do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

If everyone who listens to our shows, our podcasts, the businesses we feature, helps to pay for it, our future would be much more secure.

You can support Cambridge Radio by giving monthly or by making a one-off contribution.
