Autism Awareness, Model Railways & The Film Critic

April’s episode of Strong Lincs is packed with heart, community spirit, and a touch of creativity as Rich and Dan head out across the district to mark a very special day.

In celebration of World Autism Day, the duo visit Rainbow Stars in Sleaford where they’re given a warm welcome by their very own super-fan, Stephi. She proudly shows them around the hub, offering a personal insight into the incredible work being done there by all the brilliant volunteers and members. From joining in with a calming mindfulness session to unwinding in the sensory room, it’s an eye-opening and uplifting experience that highlights the incredible work being done to support young people and families in the local community.

All aboard! Next stop, Great Hale, where the action shifts to Hale Magna Village Hall for the NG34 Model Railway Society’s Exhibition. From intricate layouts to passionate hobbyists, Rich and Dan take in the sights and sounds of this much-loved local event, celebrating the craftsmanship and community behind the miniature world of model railways. They meet up for a chat with three of the NG34 members to get the lowdown on this fascinating hobby.

Back in the studio, the conversation turns to the big (and small) screen as film critic Joel James joins the show. He shares his expert picks for upcoming cinema releases and TV series, offering listeners plenty of inspiration for their next watch.

Rounding off the episode on a high note, the wonderfully talented Heather Brackley plays us out with her track Chickenpox, a memorable and unique finish to another vibrant episode.

It’s all here: community, creativity, and connection on this month’s Strong Lincs.
