When Social Worker Assistant Sabrina Prescott reached out to Hot Radio,
inviting them to broadcast their Hot Breakfast show live from our Dorset hub, she wasn’t sure if she’d receive a response. However, before she knew it, plans were in motion, and in less than a month, Hot Breakfast DJs Coco and Sparky had arrived – the show was on!
Despite the early 7am start, members of the Dorset team turned up full of enthusiasm, eager to be part of the excitement and share insights about fostering.
Branch Administrator Macayla Beckett, says: "We definitely had so much fun. There were such amazing energy and enthusiasm from the team and at Hot Radio.”
