Hope FM give away tickets ahead of Saturday's Concert!

Hope FM have been giving away tickets yesterday and today in the afternoon show for the concert at Winton Centre Point this coming Saturday - so congratulations to those people who won tickets!

To confirm two things.

Oposium have now built their "fire piano" and it is ready for the stage on Saturday evening. We're not giving anything away with pictures before the event, but it is awesome and has been tested so we know it works!



The Oposium banner is also up outside Elim Church (Centre Point) - so to find the venue on Saturday night (Doors 7pm, £3.50 on door), simply drive down Wimborne Road, Winton and turn left if you are coming from Poole (right if you are coming from Castle Point) at the sign to Elim Church. You can't miss the banner!



See you on Saturday !!

Routes To Roots Befriending Teams Pilot Project Launch

In partnership with Quaker Homeless Action, Routes To Roots have launched the Befriending Teams Pilot Project in Poole. The project was officially opened on Sunday 1st February at St Peter's Church, Parkstone with a number of VIPs present including the Mayor of Poole Councillor Joyce Lavender and the Sheriff of Poole Councillor Charles Meachin.



The Befriending Scheme is about organising volunteers together to play an important role in helping the people most in need in our community. With volunteers grouped together in teams of 2 or 3, they can literally befriend those people who both charities are helping and provide a support group for that person. The pilot scheme will run over the next 18-24 months in Poole and is seen as a real step forwards in terms of reaching out into the community.

Oposium frontman Richard McLester provided some background entertainment, before the official speeches, performing on piano alongside Jamie from JLR on guitar (whose story was featured on BBC Dorset in November 2008).

"It's a fantastic thing for the two charities to do..." said Richard "...as both charities can pool their expertise and come together to make a difference in our community. Certainly an initiative like this is exciting because of all the different people it will involve."
