Challenge Poverty Week

ShmuFM are working with organisations, both local and nationally, as part of Challenge Poverty Week, to highlight the many issues around poverty.

Volunteers from shmuFM have produced a number of shows which will be broadcast throughout the week which focus on local charities, media representations of poverty and the effects of economic inequality.

"Some of our highlights included talking to Professor Danny Dorling about economic inequality, Frances Raynor from The Poverty Alliance and getting audio from charities across Aberdeen to hear about the amazing work they do to challenge poverty every day in the city"

Challenge Poverty Week is a national campaign which is a chance to highlight the injustice of poverty in Scotland and to celebrate the people and projects who are standing against it together.

Angie Joss

Take one would-be writer, one failed dancer, one harassed mum and one wife of an amateur local historian - and what have you got? Well, you’ve got the recipe for a Culture Show presenter who guarantees the listener an ever-changing mix of down-to-earth, accessible, relevant cultural events, going on right here in Aberdeen, City and Shire. You’ve also got me, Angie Joss, a local quine, who’s passionate about the arts - and folk’s entitlement to be part of making and enjoying them.
