    UF Radio - November 2023: "The Street Clean Episode"

    This month, the UF Radio crew discussed how safe we are on our streets and the known link between crime and the physical environment. Living in good neighbourhoods that respect their spaces make the community feel safer and happier - with good street cleansing being key to this. There was discussion around how we could personally make a difference, including how the UF community could support litter picks as an act of investing in our local community.

    UF Radio - October 2023: "Celebrating Black History Month in the UK"

    The theme for this year is the huge contribution of the Windrush generations (and before) within industries such as the NHS. We asked our Members to share with us how their grandparents and great-grandparents helped to shape the UK. We also looked into history and explored people who have changed employment law with their fighting spirit. We found out what family members would have been dancing to after a hard week's work. So be prepared for a vintage and fabulous playlist!
