Susy Radio’s Neil Munday reached the ‘height’ of his broadcasting career at the recent Surrey Fire and Rescue Open Day.

Neil and the team were broadcasting live from the event, describing all the various activities, demonstrations and events which were taking place, visiting the many stalls and talking to some of the stall holders, representatives of the various services and visitors who were attending.

You can hear everything again here and soak up the atmosphere of the day.

The school is a registered charity (Charity number: 1026216).

Fifteen year old Tyra has a brother, James, who attends Woodfield School. James has Dravet Syndrome and is 16 years old, but has the mentality of a 4 year old. Tyra says that despite his mental disability he is developing and flourishing because of help received from this ‘amazing school’.

To add her support, Tyra has begun a fundraising project of her own, but at 15yrs old, she is a year too young to register her own charity. She has therefore created her own ‘Just Giving’ page “to try and have events and this JustGiving page so I can have a head start for when I turn 16.”

Tyra adds:
“The main reason I want to raise money for Woodfield is because of the students that attend the school and on a personal level I have met most of them and have been touched by their happiness and friendliness towards everyone despite their different disabilities.

I would love to raise awareness and money for Woodfield so they can have more school trips, a new minibus and more benches.”
Tyra has already managed to raise over £2,000 towards her target of £10,000.
