Empowering local writers in Firs & Bromford

Local Trust podcast

John went from writing fairy stories for his daughter, to being given homework at the age of 76 as part of a local writing group. Now, he's one of several locally published authors who've come through the Firs and Bromford Big Local writing group. We chat to John, author of 'It's been reported', and fellow author and leader of the writing club Phil, about sparking imaginations, the power of good friendships, and how simple it really is to make art accessible to everyone. John Brookes-Wiggitt and Phil Howkins are both partnership members of Firs & Bromford Big Local.
