“It’s going to be our biggest year yet,” said Mr Harris. “We couldn’t be more proud – and eager to get started. We want to be a platform for our community to be heard. We are the voice of Bexhill.”

A special feature this year will be a focus on health, with a range of experienced professionals within the community, including Healthwatch East Sussex, Rother Voluntary Action, and Younique Wellbeing, all speaking about the benefits of good health and fitness.

Throughout 2017, Bexhill FM has been working within the community to get Bexhill voices heard, by attending several events, such as the Wheels of Wonder event, the Starfish Races, and the Old Town Preservation Society’s In Living Memory event about the history of Bexhill.

Co-director Chris Thompson said: “We are working with some incredible local businesses and organisations. We cannot thank them enough. Now all the people of Bexhill need to join in to make this a bigger and bigger part of town life in the future. Come heat wave or hailstones, the Voice of Bexhill will take the area by storm tomorrow.”
