Comment

Sir, - I would like to thank everyone who attended Radio Teesdale's first birthday party at the Jersey Farm.

All agreed it was a fantastic night and an excellent opportunity to reward both our hard-working volunteers and our loyal listeners.

The last few months have seen the radio station go from strength to strength with the launch of our second transmitter, and shortly we will be streaming live on the internet, allowing even greater access.

We could not have achieved any of this without funding from a number of bodies. Radio Teesdale is entirely self-funded, has only one paid member of the team, and relies on donations from the business community and other organisations for its continued existence.

We owe a big debt of thanks therefore to organisations who have awarded us grants and funding, such as Teesdale District Council, whose councillors recognised the importance of Radio Teesdale's expansion plans with a grant of £15,000.

We are also extremely grateful for the support of OFCOM, The Good Fund, Defra, Award for All and Leader Plus. They have contributed greatly towards the successful launch of a community radio station in Teesdale.

We would also like to offer our thanks to Will Roberts and Jim McTaggart of the Darlington & Stockton Times and The Northern Echo for their support over the last year, which has been invaluable.

For further information on our events and schedule, check out our website on www.radioteesdale.
